MdB - Behavior consultancy

MdB - Behavior consultancy Through MdB I support parents, teachers & professionals who are faced with challenging behaviors of their children. Welcome to MdB behavior consultancy.

Together we look for the cause and find ways to support the child and his/her environment to come to positive behavior changes. I am Marieke, a behavior specialist and family therapist from the Netherlands. After having worked in a variety of child supportive settings like specialized institutions for neurodiverse children, international schools and with individual families, I have decided to pull all my experience together and start my own consultancy. Adding my personal experiences as an expat mother of two young children, I am here to help you. Whether you are questioning your parenting methods with your three year old who keeps throwing temper tantrums or whether you have been supporting your child or student with autism to your best ability and feel at a loss with new challenging behavior, I am here. My practice is based on the notion that all behavior is communication. It is a way for our children and/or students to let us know they are struggling with something and need help. Therefore, my sessions are not focused on trying to 'quickly fix the problem'. They are focused on the why, how and then the way forward. Together we will try and see why the behaviors are happening and what we can put in place to support the child to no longer need those behaviors. We will work towards increased sensitivity and understanding of each other, using the connection you have with your child or student. This will allow both you and your child or student to feel more secure and empowered, resulting in positive changes. Besides sessions for families and schools, I also host parent support groups. In our western society we no longer have our 'village' to support one another in the incredibly fun yet complex task of raising and supporting our children. Through my parent support groups I strive to offer you this community: a place where you can vent, exchange stories and ask each other and myself for advice. Please see 'Services' for more detailed information.

MdB - Behavior consultancy is back from maternity leave and looking forward to supporting many of you in the wonderful and challenging adventure called parenting!

For this holiday season, here’s a helpful thing to think about:

do you set any different expectations for your children during the festive days and familial visits? More quiet playing, better table manners, full programs with many adult-chosen activities?
By becoming aware, we can better understand why children may act out more during these days, and maybe rethink some of these expectations or balance it out more.

Happy holidays!

How to make sure a four year old knows what she signs up for when saying “yes, I’ll go to Paris with dad and big brother for 4 days (without mom and baby sister)”. This is my approach to making it as concrete as possible, I visualize it into a comic story.

What a great initiative to post these kinds of messages online for all to see and read, and learn.

My name is Georgia.
I’m 29 years old.
I live in Denmark, but have also lived in London.
I’m half Danish, half Scottish.
And I have schizophrenia.

My favourite colour is blue.
My favourite animal is the mouse.
My favourite singer is Taylor Swift.
My favourite movie is Inception.
My favourite thing to do is prove my illness wrong.

I’m highly intelligent. (Not bragging, just a fact.)
I’m told I’m strong.
Brave.
Kind.
Sometimes funny.
I can see humour in darkness; positivity in pain.

I love being creative.
I love reading manga.
I love doing origami.
I love writing.
I’ve written two books about my life with schizophrenia.

“Voices Off” was published earlier this year.

I can’t work.
I can’t study.
I can’t have a “normal” social life.
I’ve never been in a relationship.
Schizophrenia messed up a lot of my plans.

I hear voices. Every day.
I take medicine to keep me healthy.
I have to be so careful, all the time.
I mustn’t get too much stress - neither positive nor negative.
I have relapsed before.

But, here on , I have a request.

Share a with the hashtag . The world needs to see what we look like; to understand that we’re not mad, we’re not violent, we’re not weird. We’re just normal young people struggling with challenges most people couldn’t even begin to comprehend.

We’re absolute warriors.

My name is Georgia, and I suffer from schizophrenia. A highly misunderstood and unfairly stigmatised illness — which I hope to help change by telling my story.

‘Voices Off: Talking About Schizophrenia’ is my book, published 12th January this year. So it’s completely new. Hot off the press.

Due to my illness, verbal communication is difficult for me — this is where social media comes in. I am a small Instagram account with 200 followers and my Facebook posts don’t always reach far, but I’m giving it a shot anyway.

Please share this post — anywhere you can, anywhere at all you think it would be relevant — or simply tell your network about my book; ‘Voices Off’, by Georgia Brask. Anything helps. I would love for my book to get in front of and help those who need it the most — and it could very well do that with your help!

Currently, ‘Voices Off’ is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Waterstones (links below).

Did you know that schizophrenia is NOT ‘multiple personalities’? And that the majority of schizophrenics aren’t violent or dangerous? Find out more about this devastating disease in my book …

Thank you for your time (and don't forget to share!) 😊

🎅All I want for Christmas... (and the new year 🍾)

* Inclusivity
* parents who are aware and feel empowered
* children who are well-in-touch-with-their-emotions (and those of others) and proud to be themselves.

Join me next year Behavior Consultancy and together we will get there, one step at the time

17/12/2022

A little take away from this month's webinar: enjoying Christmas as a family:
When our lives are busy and we are managing many things at once, - which often happens during festive holidays -, our brain and nervous system tend to go in overdrive, potentially leading to overwhelm and reduced emotional regulation.
In this state, many parents may recognize that they are parenting more 'reactively' (yelling, using consequences and/or bribing to get your child to act the way you want them to in that specific moment), instead of supportively.
By becoming aware that this is something you do, you are making a wonderful step towards changing it. So this Christmas, start with yourself: take calming breaths, regulate yourself, and then: parent.

Happy holidays everyone
