Here to help you raise Confident Kids with more ease
Confident Kids was born from having seen firsthand that parents of children with communication and emotional struggles don’t get enough support!
Whether it’s well-meaning friends, family, or professionals - too many people simply don’t ‘get it’ when it comes to the frustrations and challenges of little ones who can’t communicate their needs. And for those who can provide the right support, there’s often obstacles which add further stress to family lives, rather than freeing them up for more fun. Think, month long waits, overwhelming therapy environments and too much paperwork...!
Instead, we make raising Confident Kids easier, by nurturing parents like YOU into Confident Communicators.
Our aim is to enable you to: spend more quality and connected time with your child, be equipped with the tools & knowledge you need and ensure you have more confidence approaching nursery, school, or medical professionals whenever you need to.
Where other speech & language support may only take into consideration the impact on communication, we recognise how communication challenges impact so much more - from self-regulation and emotions to day-to-day routines and behaviour. Exhausting.
While it might just be one child who’s struggling, at Confident Kids it’s all about making life better for the whole family!
Meet Sarah
Forget everything you thought you knew about getting support for your child. YOU are the expert in your little one and I’m here to be a friendly support who will provide the tools you’ve been searching for...
You can put any concerns about daunting ‘authority figures’ behind you and enter a safe space where your family's needs always come first. With the right tools, I promise, there’s no one better positioned to help your child thrive than you!
I’m a specialist speech and language teacher with a focus on emotional regulation for children 3-8 years old.
Having worked with children and their families for almost 20 years, I know how desperately many parents long for support that’s flexible, compassionate, and empowering. Support that acknowledges the unique challenges of each child and recognises them, as parents, to be the most important (and capable!) in helping their children thrive.
I’m a mum of two and let me tell you, supporting your own child is very different from supporting other people’s children in a professional capacity. I can now see things from a parent’s perspective much more clearly, as I have experienced similar struggles first hand. I specialise in supporting parents like you to understand your child’s communication, emotional and regulation needs and then give you the tools to support your child when they are feeling overwhelmed. These strategies help to reduce the frequency and intensity of emotional outburts.
Plus, I know no parent really wants to attend more school meetings, doctors’ appointments and in-person therapy sessions with their child... What you really want is to be given easy-to-use tools and techniques that will change everything, from the comfort, safety, and convenience of home (and with the perks of a friendly face to put you at ease as you learn). With me, that’s exactly what you’ll get!
“I do not have the words to describe how grateful I am to Sarah for her support and encouragement. From our first conversation, Sarah instantly made me feel at ease by listening to me and giving me reassurance.”
