As a registered counsellor with a motivational speaking background, I have encountered areas of concern or struggle with school children who may be struggling with their academics. Sometimes this struggle can be related to emotional issues like stress or trauma. Often there can be a small issue blocking an individual from keeping up to date or remaining disciplined. "As a former primary school counsellor(2016-2019), I have worked closely with the foundation phase, including the intermediate phase(ages 7-13) Providing support to these ages requires a great deal of patience. More importantly an understanding of their worldview. With this understanding, the support role can identify ways in adapting/ assisting the child's needs or challenges. " Maintaining a healthy routine at home is vital. Understanding your child's day-to-day behaviour can be the first step, and may highlight the need for a small change like time or place of study. Self-esteem and motivation were a part of my counselling & coaching training (2013). I am using my passion for Motivation as a Role Model Coach for Coachbit. My previous experience has equipped me with skills or knowledge which enable me to help you and or your child unlock and reach their full potential. Implementing healthy habits can bring great rewards. Being a part of this journey of change for the child is what I am most interested in!
