OPD Points: 10

Coaching parents and giving them practical strategies to support their children can be difficult if you don’t have access to the right resources. A Story About Jake and associated resources might just be an easy and effective toolkit to help your parent and child clients.

The training booklet takes you through A Story About Jake, develops your coaching language, and is followed by a few questions to check on your understanding and use of story and resources. The story and resources are included.

A Story About Jake is a simple story. It’s a story about the art of acknowledgement with a huge amount of patience thrown in. Specifically, the story describes the way in which a parent can support their child who is experiencing emotional overwhelm as the child struggles to complete an academic task. The process that explores a solution for this child might also apply to other areas of family life where supporting emotional processing and managing behaviour is required.

1 hour of independent reading, activities & online quiz.
