Balance the Scales 

Significantly reduce or eliminate children's
undesirable behaviours

As seen on/in:

You’ve implemented numerous strategies but still nothing is working. You feel like you're in a constant battle, like you're failing on some level as a parent or professional, or you're simply not sure what advice to take from who. Here's why:

You're trying to stop or 'fix' undesirable behaviours via reactive methods:

  • Confiscating gadgets or limiting screen time
  • Shouting, threatening or bribing
  • Giving numerous consequences or issuing endless punishments
  • Trying to be stricter/firmer, or calmer/softer
  • And on some occasions ignoring the behaviour altogether when you just don't know what else to do

Preventative behaviour support is THE BEST behaviour support you can provide. It is inevitable that behaviours will be significantly reduced or eliminated when you:

  • Understand where undesirable behaviours originate from and why
  • Support the development of executive functioning skills
  • Implement a balance of preventative rather than reactive strategies
  • Meet children and young people's core behavioural needs
  • Are aware of and support your own needs as well as theirs!

What our learners say

This is the best guidance I have ever received, I can't believe how simple and effective it is at the same time. I feel so much calmer now.
Wow! Transformational, that's how I'd summarise this guidance.
It's been reassuring to know what I'm already doing really well (and that I'm not failing), and exactly where I need to plug the gaps.
Wow, super informative. I've learnt so much as a parent to a young child that will help me for the rest of their childhood! Amazing, thank you.
It should be mandatory for all school staff to have this guidance.
What I love most is how Marie explains that little adjustments can lead to big behaviour changes, and she provides very practical ways that don't feel overwhelming.
Marie has such a way of explaining things that make you feel reassured and hopeful. As a busy mum of two toddlers, a teenager and as a teacher, I am confident using this guidance at home and at school!
So simple, but SO effective. What I found most helpful Is understanding why all the strategies work, and they really do!
Valuable advice, guidance and support that makes you see everything differently. I feel 10x less overwhelmed, this has changed everything for me. Thank you Marie!
