Services offered by Peaceful Parent

Genevieve is based in Whangarei, New Zealand, but can be booked to spend time with staff and children (and give talks to the parents) at Early Childhood Centres around New Zealand. Appointments can also be made for phone or skype consultations to address specific questions or issues before or after or separate from a visit to the centre.

Supervision, coaching and ongoing training are widely recognised as essential for optimum performance in all people based services.

Educators always colour and shape children's developing social and emotional capacities, but our influence is not always mindful, helpful, consistent or empathic.  Learn how you can, as a teacher, better understand and support the child's emotional and social development - allowing them to  be all that they can be?  There is now a growing body of research that tells us what parents and teachers have always known; that learning how to read ourselves and others is as important as learning to read words and numbers. We now know that emotional intelligence (or literacy) reduces violence, increases self esteem and social skills and provides the foundation for learning and healthy development. In Genevieve's work with teachers, she outlines ways that the staff can promote emotional intelligence in their centres and schools.

As a society, we are learning more and more about how we can most effectively promote social and emotional competencies that provide the foundation for healthy character development and academic achievement.  But even though the importance of supporting emotional and social intelligence in our children and youth is widely understood, teachers and caregivers in general often feel largely under trained and under resourced in this area of their work. This is the gap that groups like the Peaceful Parent Institute are meeting.

Learn more about emotional intelligence and  explore ways that you can create a social and emotional environment, as an individual teacher and as a group, that fosters the children's emotional intelligence in your early childhood centre. 

These trainings, individual and group coaching and individual and group supervision assist practitioners, social workers and educators to gain more valuable information that they can relate to their work in supporting their children's emotional and social development. The Professional Development also offers time out to gain an objective perspective on the effect of the interactions between the adults and the children and time to explore challenging issues related to interpersonal dynamics relevant to their practice in a confidential environment.

Genevieve has such an incredibly indepth understanding of how humans operate emotionally and mentally and brings a wealth of understanding and clarity to the issues that clients present.
