Parenting Support in Abu Dhabi

Sharing Parenting is pleased to announce we can now also offer support to parents and professionals in Abu Dhabi.

For Parents 

Would you like to talk to someone confidentially about an issue you are having with the children at home?

Are you too busy to attend one of our Courses, Workshops or Tasters but still want advice and support?

The Sharing Parenting One-to-One Support programme has been developed for parents and families and shared in one-to-one situations.

It is designed to aid in addressing more immediate and specific issues and supporting the family to find strategies and develop skills outside a group setting.

Support can be flexible and dependent on your individual needs and covers: 

• Communication and parenting styles
• Assertive communication
• Identifying needs
• Understanding challenging behaviour
• Managing challenging behaviour
• Listening
• Discipline strategies
• Choices and consequences
• Labelling
• Encouragement
• Building self-esteem

You can find lots of useful resources on our website such as strategies, podcasts and videos/vlogs.)

For Professionals working with children and families 

Often children find it difficult to bounce back and pick themselves up when they have experienced a difficult situation, for example, falling out with their friends, finding a school task challenging or a family breakdown or loss.

During this workshop (adapted from the full course) you will cover:

• The characteristics of resilient children – What makes some children cope and others fall apart in the same situation?
• Building blocks for resilience – How you can support your children to prepare for the not so good days
• How to foster resilience in children and families – How you can prepare and support your whole family for the normal ups and downs in everyday life

We work closely with schools and external organisations and offer professionals a range of opportunities to gain confidence, skills and knowledge in order to develop positive strategies for them, to support them in their work with parents and carers and to help them raise healthy happy children.

We can deliver CPD MODULES to your professionals at your next training day to support them in their work with children, parents and or families. 

Our half day of full day programmes include: 

• The Psychology behind Children’s Challenging Behaviour

Learn key strategies to support children and parents in your workplace and better understand why children behave the way they do and how to support them. 

• True Colours

Knowing your personality type and those around you can really help you to work more productively. This is great to understand colleagues, teams, parents and the children you work with. 

• Mindfulness

Teaching you how to share techniques and tips for remaining clam in a frantic world, supporting you to have a clearer mind and make better decisions.

• Stress Busting for Professionals

A little bit of stress can be healthy but too much and it is not productive.

Learn some practical techniques which you can put into place for yourself, colleagues you work with and the parents and children you support.

• How to ask the right questions to effect change using Neurolinguistic Programming

Just phrasing the question in a different way can help you to get the results and understanding you want – quicker! 

• Sibling Rivalry

The aim of this training is to explore the underlying reasons behind why siblings fight and to share some effective strategies for handling sibling rivalry.

Some of the topics you will cover include:

Roots of sibling rivalry – is it natural?

Triggers to sibling rivalry – how can I avoid it and have a calmer household?
