How to Really Listen with Love
Become Your Child's Emotion Coach: An easy but powerful way to grow your child's emotional resilience
Sick of repeating yourself?
I hear you!
There is nothing worse than not being heard.
Or feeling misunderstood or worse still: ignored.
We underestimate the power of listening
To be seen and heard is very important for children. Listening when it's done right is truly transformational and healing.
Actively listening for a decade
Listening in a Smiley way is how I create rapport (connection) with my clients.
* Listening with your body, mind and soul.
* Listening without waiting for your turn to speak.
* Listening to what's not being said.
WHAT ABOUT REAL LISTENING?
Getting comfortable with the silence
Being in the silence with somebody you love who is metaphorically holding your hand through your thoughts and feelings is like magic.
Listening is not responding and sometimes there isn't anything to say. There is something to be or to learn or to feel.
Children cannot always express their thoughts and feelings in a way that we understand so let's have a look at that together and see how you can become a safe space for them to share, reflect and figure it out for themselves.
listening with heart
In this mini training, you and I will do a little Smiley coaching together to integrate what us coaches call 'active listening' into your communication repertoire. It's so powerful.
The more you listen, the more you will notice the positive impact it has on your child - they will even be more co-operative!

"Lisa it's brilliant ! You are a true star whose message should be out there loud and proud! It was lovely to have some teaching that makes sense. This is particularly powerful with easy actionable points to follow. As a purchaser of many online courses, I find it really annoying when people tell you all about what you are doing (usually badly/wrong) without giving you steps to correct this or improve. We need the 'how to solve it' bit too. This is easy to digest information, makes useful self observations and ways to improve. Please write more courses, kids need you to teach their parents. It doesn't come naturally to everybody."
