“Tirzah’s advice has been priceless. Being a first time parent I had no idea how to deal with toddler tantrums, picky eating and adjustments with a new sibling. Tirzah’s approach is different. She uses visual aides and accesses your child first. Simple visual aides helped me work with my toddler and set some solid foundations which I didn’t have”

- Generally difficult or negative behaviour.
- Difficulty making friends.
2. Emotional withdrawal, for example:
- Low self-esteem.
- Feelings of hopelessness – a ‘learned helplessness’ (i.e. you will often hear, “I can’t do it” and / or observe avoidance of any new or challenging situations that they think they will not succeed at).
- Poor concentration or difficulty engaging in play, activities and/or tasks.
- Limited interests and/or engagement in play areas.

4. Defiance, for example:

Why Choose Us?
Despite the proliferation of new parenting trends, there hasn’t been an improvement in behaviour. Instead, children often appear lost and may exhibit anger, excessive emotions, or emotional withdrawal. They may also show increased disrespect and defiance as they navigate their way through childhood, school, and into adulthood.
And that’s why I offer a no-nonsense approach to guiding your child through these challenges, helping them:
#1 Understand the behavioural/emotional side of life;
#2 Thrive in relationships;
#3 Build themself up and shift their mindset; and
#4 Experience holistic growth – developmental, academic, relational & spiritual development.
I follow a family-centred approach, which means I provide support to both your child and you as a parent, embracing you with unwavering support through biblically-based coaching, and empowering families with spiritual, educational, and inspirational resources.
I believe in the necessity of discipline, but I do not resort to physical punishment. Instead, I utilise a firm yet nurturing teaching and parenting technique to instil in your child respect for themselves, others, especially their parents and teachers, and God.
