COACHING FAMILIES EFFECTIVELY

USING THE SOLUTON FOCUSED APPROACH

AND THE BEHAVIOUR & RELATIONSHIP TOOLKIT

Welcome to the online course

Coaching Families Effectively using the Solution Focused approach and the Behaviour & Relationship Toolkit (online course)

The Solution Focused approach is a highly effective way of coaching families from where they are now to where they would like to be.

In this course, you will see the trainer, Erik Wagter, work one-to-one with someone, taking you through the Solution Focused approach, step-by-step. This way, you can clearly see and experience the effectiveness of the Solution Focused approach.

The behaviour & relationship toolkit will give you lots of insight into family relationships with a deep dive into challenging behaviour and how to turn this around.

The Solution Focused approach

The Solution Focused approach in this online course contains 5 easy-to-follow steps.

  1. Problem free talking
  2. Best hopes
  3. The scale
  4. Small achievable step
  5. The commitment scale

As well as using all 5 Solution Focused steps in a coaching session, you can also use them individually. In this course you will see Erik, the trainer, work with someone, taking you through each of the 5 steps.

The benefits of the Solution
Focused approach

Often, when you meet a new family, there is a high chance that they are anxious, worried, as they don’t know what to expect. This is not a good place to start your journey of change with this family. The steps within the Solution Focused approach will help you to be a highly effective family coach.

The Solution Focused approach will help you with the following:

  • Developing a trusting relationship with the family very quickly
  • Helping the family gain clarity about what they would like to achieve from working with you
  • Helping the family reach the highest level of commitment following through with their chosen small achievable steps
  • Helping the family increase their motivation and willingness to engage with you
  • Helping you move from feeling you are ‘just winging it’ to having clarity and feeling confident to support families achieve positive change
  • Empowering the family to take ownership of their journey

The Behaviour & Relationship Toolkit

The tools in the Behaviour & Relationship Toolkit will help you give parents a deeper understanding of their family relationships and how to manage challenging behaviour. It will help them to see the importance of taking ownership of their journey and how they can move from their current situation to their new preferred situation.

You will be able to help parents moving away from thinking ‘my child is trying to ruin my life‘, to completely understanding why they present challenging behaviour as well as what they as parents can do to turn this around.

There are 5 tools & techniques in the Behaviour & Relationship Toolkit which are:

  • The 6 human needs
  • Who is ultimately responsible for everything you think, say and do?
  • The 5 love languages
  • The Rules we live by
  • Relationship first

6 Human Needs testimonial from
School Counsellor

The 6 Human Needs is a tool that will help you explain to parents why their children present challenging behaviour, but it also gives you clear instructions on how to empower them to turn challenging behaviour around.

The 6 Human Needs is one of those tools that will change how effective you are in helping families who are at risk of breakdown due to challenging behaviour.

Please watch the testimonial in the video next to this text to hear from a school counsellor how this tool changed the outcome for a family and their young child.

Testimonial from course participant

Erik’s training extremely useful and helpful. His program breaks down the solution focused methods into easy to follow steps and he has video tutorials of every step. He also gives commentary as to how he redirects the client with a variety of strategies. After watching all his video tutorials, any Family Support Worker will feel comfortable adding and practicing solution focused brief therapy. I highly recommend Erik’s online course’.

Enjoy the course

I am positive that this course will make you a more effective family coach.

I would like to point out when I created this course, the Behaviour & Relationship Toolkit used to be called ‘Thriving Family Relationships’ but since we changed the name.
