About Me

I've just learned this phrase, have you heard of it?

'Tacit knowledge', which means:

"Something that you can only understand through your lived experience"

As parents, this makes you and I part of the same club. 

There was some semblance of life before having kids, but I don’t remember what it was like either!

And this means we feel safe telling each other things like:

- I worry about my child's future because they lack any direction
- I don’t know what to do about them spending so much time on social media
- I wish they would just listen to me, I've been through what they're dealing with right now 

And a million more thoughts that keep us both up at night.

WHAT SCHOOL DOESN'T DO WELL

Schools are graded themselves before they grade your child's exams.

Their main agenda is to help kids pass qualifications so they meet their own school targets, nothing else. 

This may come at the cost of:

- Adequate mental health provision
- Personalised learning support (for how your teen actually learns)
- Helping your child develop the soft skills, the ones that make you successful at work

Where school falls short, life skills work can step in.

It will help your teenager in the three main areas that increase their chances of being happy and successful, as they step into adulthood:

Self-awareness - so they can see step into their confidence, ally with peers that have good self-esteem and connect with their adult thinking

Learning how to learn - schools are starting to teach this, your child is lucky if they do. 
However, a personalised learning approach can add up to 16% to their performance, i.e. the difference between the top grade and the one below.

Their Future - something you should know, teens love coaching conversations. 
They get listened to, instead of being spoken at! 

And they get to share exciting future dreams with someone. Even to see them become reality.
