A MENSTON-BASED mum is bringing a parenting coaching brand to the region.

Anisa Lewis, an experienced former teacher, is rolling out ParentingSuccess' services in the Menston, Ilkley, Otley and Harrogate areas to begin with.

The business offers support to parents with children of any age through interactive workshops alongside seminars and one to one sessions with individuals and families.

Its workshops are based around themes including Positive Discipline, Raising Independent Children, Boost your Child’s Confidence, Anger Management and Stress-free Homework.

Area Facilitator for Yorkshire Anisa said: "Over the years I have developed a slight obsession with parenting self-help books - and, alongside being a teacher for 17 years and a mum, I felt I was bursting with information that I wanted to share with other parents.

"I revel in getting under the skin of how children’s minds work and am really lucky to have been able to experience the joy of making a change in behaviours through working with this knowledge.

"I am delighted to now be putting all this into practice through joining the ParentingSuccess Team."

A number of activities for parents and children are also being lined up in Menston for the first three months of 2017 - for more details visit parentingsuccesscoaching.com .
