The more you try to persuade them, the less cooperative they become. The more pressured they feel, the worse things get. Strategies like Time Out or the Naughty Step backfire, as their behaviour gets worse not better.
That can make school difficult. For schools work on a set of assumptions - and pressure-sensitive children blow those assumptions to pieces. Schools work on the basis that children can be pressured to change their behaviour . When this doesn't work, the children (and their families) can get caught in a spiral of negativity and anxiety.
Soon parents find that their whole life is dominated by school. Worrying about it, trying to make things better, going into meetings, discussing it. Nothing seems to help and everyone feels terrible.
How can you be low demand parents, whilst your child goes to school? What can you do to take the pressure off and give them the space to thrive? That's what we'll be discussing in this new webinar.
Illustrated throughout with Eliza's witty and insightful cartoons, this webinar will entertain you as well as inform you.

Updated with a new version in 2024, Dr Naomi Fisher and Eliza Fricker will show you how low demand parenting is anything but 'doing nothing' and help you see your way through to creating a happy family life. It will be reassuring, positive and free of blame or shame.
Updated for 2024! It's hard to be a parent when your child doesn't respond to mainstream techniques. We'll show you a different way in this new and updated webinar recording.
Updated for 2024! Some children just don't respond to conventional approaches to behaviour. What do you do when the naughty step makes things worse?
Updated for 2024! Some children are highly sensitive to emotions and pressure, and parenting them takes a whole new skillset. Dr Naomi Fisher and Eliza Fricker explain why many mainstream parenting approaches can make things worse and how to parent to help your child learn to manage their emotions.
Updated for 2024! What do you do when mainstream parenting makes things worse - but you still need to live in the real world?
Dr Naomi Fisher and Eliza Fricker take on tutting in the supermarket, disapproval in the playground, and grandparents who can't see why you don't insist on Saying Please. And they'll discuss what happens when parents disagree about the right approach, or when professionals get involved.
Updated for 2024! How do you manage screen time, when your child doesn't play by the parenting rules?
Some children are pressure-sensitive. They react to traditional parenting methods in unexpected ways. The more their parents try to set firm boundaries or implement reward systems, the worse things get.
How can you make space for yourself, whilst also doing the best you can for your children? How can you make sure your own needs matter, when your child's needs are so high that they can't be put aside? Is it even possible for life to feel more sustainable?
