Why Kids Bully
When a child bullies, it’s not because they’re “bad.”
It’s often a cry for connection — a symptom of disconnection and insecurity.
Children who feel powerless or excluded often try to feel strong by putting others down. True healing starts when we look beyond the behaviour and ask, “What pain is driving this?”
As Dr Gordon Neufeld reminds us in Hold On to Your Kids:
“Children bully not because of peer pressure, but because of a lack of secure attachment.
”Let’s restore connection before we correct behaviour.

Each year, I facilitate one or two Be Your Best courses, an extensive 10-week personal development program focused on practical communication and conflict resolution strategies. Through this program, participants develop essential skills to manage their emotions, relationships, and fears, while allocating time for their needs and pursuing long-neglected goals. This setting also becomes a secure haven for forming profound friendships and bonds. Many groups maintain their connections and organize regular meetups long after the course has ended. I recently had the pleasure of reconnecting with two such groups, exceptional women who developed lasting friendships. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone for sharing their time, insights, and energy with me. Our next Be Your Best course commences in February 2026.

Help! I am a Parent...

As a young mother, raising children was a very daunting prospect indeed. I quickly became aware of the many challenges of parenting and the pressures I felt to be a "good" parent. The parenting references I had were primarily derived from how I was raised by my parents, and although I could use some of the positive things that came from my upbringing, there were aspects of my parent's parenting that I wanted to change or do differently. I instinctively knew that I lacked the awareness and competence required to be an effective parent.

Being trained as a Social Worker I was fortunate have access to resources in the social sciences domain and when I came across the Parent Effectiveness Training (PET) parenting training course by Gordon Training International, my husband and I jumped at the opportunity to learn more. The training was a life-changer and provided a much-needed base for our engagement with our children, and having gone through this training together, it gave us the opportunity to remind the other of the parenting techniques we have learned when the going got tough - as it will do most surely!

I have since adopted the skills I have learned in emotional intelligence and communication techniques, not only in my parenting, but also in all relationships in my life. Today, my involvement with Parent Effectiveness Training has led to me qualifying as an Instructor ten years ago, and with two sons aged 28 and 25, and with a precious ten-year old daughter (yes!), I am grateful to have learned the skills required for parenting and for all my personal relationships.
