“ I attended a positive parenting workshop with Josie when my son was 2yrs old. She is such an expert, so passionate about positive parenting and a pleasure to learn with. She can answer any question or talk about any scenario, never critical of parents, always supportive. I came away empowered, ready to try a new approach. I continue to use positive parenting techniques as my children get older and would recommend a workshop with Josie to anyone. She can make all the difference.”
— Julia, mum of two

PARENTS! We need to talk about SEX!
In parenting, we try to avoid talking about inappropriate things. Sex being one of them, goodness me if we talk about it too young we might encourage sexual behaviour too early, right? Wrong!
What if I told you the exact opposite actually happens, by teaching and sharing information with your child they only become 'clued up!' Our children become knowledgeable, aware, prepared and able to understand. Vulga language, inappropriate behaviour, disrespectful jokes, peer pressure, sexual preferences are understood, they are aware of acceptable language and boundaries.
At ten years old this language is 'normal' in the school playground and let me tell you it goes on in all schools, wherever they my be, private or public, all over the country! Here are a few lines I have heard in my coaching.
- Ten year old, "My friend wants to have sex you! She told me!"
- 13 year old to 11 year old, "Hey beauty, want to come and take a walk with me?"
- "You are a slut" - "Are you a virgin?"
The list goes on and on.
Let's educate our children, don't be scared and shy away from it. Giving our children girls and boys knowledge and awareness allows them to be in control. Children easily have access to the internet now, more than ever and that comes with pornographic content. Even if they don't themselves have access their friends do, and friends talk. But if you have spoken to your children about these things before, they wont know what is real and what isn't. We are allowing our children to have a tainted impression of the truth about relationships, love and sex. Our young children learn from porn that their bodies and looks are not enough, woman are submissive and men are rough. Imagine the distorted understanding that gives our children if that is all that they have been exposed to.
They way we talk to our girls and boys is different. I will share details of what is important and at what ages we should be introducing such conversations. It is younger than most realise. We will touch on puberty too, explaining to our children what will happen to their bodies, periods and wet dreams is essential. This is normal and happens to everyone, it isn't shameful and doesn't make them weird or different.
As a parent it is awkward and hard, I get it but it is so important and you will be so pleased you took the lead on this topic rather than their friend explaining how you do it!

tiktok, snapchat, insta is full of Hyper - sexualisation online UNDERSTAND IT and how to support your children navigating it
I believe in educating our children, by not being scared and shying away from topics. These very important conversations we can introduce comfortably and easily with the right approach and language.
As parents, we try to avoid talking about inappropriate things. Sex being one of them, goodness me if we talk about it too young we might encourage sexual behaviour too early? Wrong! What if I told you the exact opposite actually happens, by teaching and sharing information with your child they only become 'clued up!' Our children become knowledgeable, aware, informed and able to understand. Vulga language, inappropriate behaviour, disrespectful jokes, peer pressure, sexual preferences are understood, they are aware of acceptable language, consent and boundaries.
The talk will include how to start these conversations, what to cover, how to introduce consent, plus a clear structure of how to approach this topic with confidence.
The talk will help you to open up the conversation pathways so your children feel they can approach you about questions they have rather than feel embarrassed, naughty and silly for asking. If we don’t create these lines of open communication children will seek out this information through the internet (porn is very accessible if not in your house a friends) or friends. Children are curious that we know, by us avoiding the topic they will learn from other sources but not the right way. Giving our children the knowledge and awareness allows them to learn the true facts. There is a lot of untrue, misunderstood information around sex and relationships within school playgrounds and the internet. We want our children to know what is real and what isn't!
(I recently worked with a family who’s ten year child thought a baby was made by doing a 69, she knew what this was from her friends at school. Please be under no illusion this doesn’t happen in your children’s school. It happens at every school, I can promise you I have been doing this a long time.)
We are allowing our children to have a tainted impression of the truth about relationships, love, sex and consent if we don’t teach this topic. Our young children from porn learn that woman are submissive and perfectly looking and men are rough and also perfectly looking. Imagine the distorted understanding that gives our children if that is all that they have been exposed to by 12years old.
As a parent it is awkward and hard, I get it but it is so important and you will be so pleased you took the lead on this topic rather than their friend explaining how you do it!

“Just spent my evening with some great parents doing this course of Josie’s. Enlightening, encouraging and very exciting. It’s great to see parenting from a more positive approach and from a child’s perspective. I’m already looking forward to the week ahead to try out some more positive strategies. My boys deserve the best of me.”
— Ginnie, mum of two
“We attended Josie's course when our daughter was coming up to a year old. The skills we learnt allowed us to be prepared for what was to come, adapt the way we disciplined our daughter and become more positive, we started to think outside the box and used the resources provided during the sessions to continue to parent in a more positive way. We really thought about the language we used to communicate with each other and with our daughter, and something we still say to each other today is what's the feeling behind the behaviour! I would recommend Josie to any parent regardless of how well things are going right now, every word she says is honest and every piece of advise has been tried and tested.”
— The Hathaways
I have 2 boys (aged 2 & 4) and have done a small amount of positive parenting myself at home and have seen good results. I was therefore keen to go on a course with an expert in the field and I was thrilled with Josie's technique and teaching style. She clearly has a real passion for positive parenting, I loved the phase she said which was 'children do better when they feel better'. There were a lot of 'lightbulb' moments for me when Josie explained why a child behaves in a particular way. Also many useful tools to take home, it felt extremely empowering to know I could solve these behaviour issues myself as Josie has given me the confidence and techniques. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to recommend this course, it honestly has strengthened my relationship with my boys even more.
— Roxy H
“As the summer continued we knew we needed to do something, we felt like we were at breaking point and we had no idea what to do. We found Josie on Facebook and hoped this would be helpful. Signing up for the workshop felt like a step in the right direction and each week we saw improvements but we still felt we needed more. Booking Josie to come and work with us one on one has made such a huge difference to our relationship with our son and we are enjoying each and every day.”
— Emma, mum of one
“This course was a real eye opener to so many little things that I needed to adapt to make parenting more enjoyable. Josie is so passionate about what she is teaching that it really helped motivate me into becoming a better parent. I've learnt so many new skills to help work with my children rather than against them and I couldn't recommend Josie more.”
— Zoe H
