Short-term support for families with children
Sometimes something drastic changes in a family – a birth, divorce, illness, loss or a move. Such events can disrupt the balance within the family. During such periods, I offer temporary support to families who could use some extra guidance to regain peace, connection and structure.
Offer
I offer short-term, flexible support to families, maximum three months. Together we look at what is needed at the moment – practically, emotionally and pedagogically.
I work with the child in his or her familiar environment, through play and activities that match the child’s experience. You as a parent always remain actively involved. I connect to what is already there, and build on that with the child and parent(s).
Begeleiding
I combine knowledge and experience with a warm, practical approach. I look not only at what is ‘not going well’, but at the whole picture: what does this family, this child, need at this moment in order to move forward?
- system-oriented – I work with the whole family, not just with the child
- holistic – I look at the child as a whole – body, behavior, emotions, environment
- flexible – we plan in consultation at times that suit your situation
I coach families:
- who are dealing with a major event (such as birth, divorce, loss, long-term illness)
- where it temporarily fails to maintain the daily rhythm and mutual connection
- where children need extra support on a social-emotional level
- NAH, epilepsy or long-term illness of the child
- where parents have diAiculty with Dutch as a second language
