2.MUSIC THERAPY( Wireless headphones are a god send to drown out the whingeing and crying)

3.CHEW GUM This trick is used by occupational therapists as it is known to reduce stress

4. FOCUS on 3 GOOD THINGS that happened at the end of your day.

5.REVIEW what caused the arguement/ stressful event and PLAN what you can do next time .(For example, giving clear brief explanation and expectation of what you want your child to do, or allocating more time to tasks such as getting ready for school).

Health coaching involves working with a trained mentor and educator to make realistic health goals and maintain the motivation until you meet those goals. Whether your health goal is to improve your fitness, lose weight or eat a healthy diet, Health Coaching has been proven to be very successful in maintaining motivation and accountability to meet your goals until the new healthy behaviour becomes habit. It involves looking into the real reasons you may be sabotaging your health and working out ways to overcome those hurdles. The process involves an initial comprehensive health assessment whereby areas for improvement will be highlighted . Tests such as bloods for cholesterol levels, kidney function, liver function, thyroid function, iron levels , blood pressure and blood glucose etc will be advised, and is a good idea to have a baseline set of measurements taken.Then we will work together to develop a health goal you want to meet . Subsequent sessions are based around what has happened in the previous week. We discuss what worked well , what didnt and devise strategies to assist you to move past those obstacles. I also provide education on areas specific to your goal and ongoing motivation. I offer a FREE comprehensive health assessment and FREE no obligation first coaching session . Try it! You have nothing to lose!
