Where We Began…
I began Activating Children’s and Teachers’ Voices – Facilitating Teachers’ Learning focused around supporting the social-emotional well-being of children alongside supporting their early childhood teachers and leaders by helping them address 10 of the most common challenges and stressors experienced by them. To support them in building their social-emotional skills and to address their challenges, we worked on developing 3 foundational skills.These included emotional intelligence, behaviour management, and emotional self-control skills.
However, since covid-19 hit, personal and familial priorities have changed for most of society, including myself and my business.

Where We Were After Covid Times…
ACTivatingVoices – Facilitating Learning shifted focus to supporting parents and carers as children’s primary educators, while maintaining our mission to empower everyone with a ‘voice’ and enhance social-emotional well-being. We recognise the challenges parents face in supporting children’s growth, especially amid personal and professional stressors. To address this, we realigned our focus to address eight common challenges parents encounter while raising young children. Additionally, we emphasised the importance of reflection, both self and collaborative, in developing social-emotional skills. This skill enables a holistic understanding of situations, empowering parents to adapt effectively to change.
Where We Are Now…
Having devoted a year to assisting parents and caregivers in becoming supportive and protective figures in their children’s lives, the focus of ActVoices – Christian Child Coaching & Family Support has now transitioned to the children themselves with continued support for the parents. I am enthusiastic about offering more effective support to children in the older age range, spanning from preschool to primary school (ages 3 to 12 years), as they navigate through challenging moments while grappling with intense emotions, including anger, tantrums, continuous yelling, emotional withdrawal, and increased disrespect and defiance.
