The Secret to a Happy Childhood

Susanne Mierau is a certified education specialist and family counsellor with 20 years of professional experience. Her bestselling books on attachment parenting and parental wellbeing have made her a household name. She distils all her theoretical and practical knowledge into her online course, answering questions such as “How do I give my child a wonderful childhood?” and “How do I avoid feeling burnt out as a parent?”

In order to successfully parent without pressure and punishment, you have to understand how your child develops. Susanne will show you how to build a trusting relationship with your child that they will benefit from for the rest of their lives. Step by step, you will learn how to acknowledge and support your child. 

Children need intimacy and independence. Susanne's tips will help you create the right mix of security and autonomy. To achieve this, active participation, kinaesthetic infant handling and emotional involvement are the tools of the trade. When it comes to setting boundaries, practice makes perfect. You will learn how to consciously say No so you can communicate your rules and values.

Your child's emotional world is like an iceberg. The behaviour you can see is only the tip of it. If you permit your child their feelings, you can dive deeper and discover the needs that lie beneath. Susanne explains how you can strengthen your child's self-confidence by combining weaknesses with strengths.

Finally, you will learn that parents, too, can make mistakes. You will get to know your stressors and learn how to manage them before they overwhelm you. With Susanne's practical exercise, you will be able to reflect on your needs and how your own experiences as a child might influence your parenting. 

The secret to a happy childhood is just a click away. Start your family's journey with a smile and a sense of calm!
