Instead of simply punishing & controlling,

we COACH

Coaching is carried out in a spirit of kindness and support.

It preserves a child’s self-concept AND is more rigorous and holds the child to

account better than punitive consequences.

Our coaching helps a child to:

1. PROBE: work out needs, stressors & missing skills

2. PLAN FOR PROGRESS: Plan how to scaffold & build missing

skills so s/he manages better next time

3. PROTECT: Plan to ensure others are protected from harm whilst skills are built.

4. REPAIR: Focus on the child taking responsibility and repairing anything impacted by

their words / actions
