How will it benefit you as a parent , teacher, foster carer or social worker?
Right now we are going through very challenging times. I hear from parents who fear losing their job, their income, their identity and their colleagues. I hear from parents struggling to support their children as they experience distress, anxiety and uncertainty in all aspects of their life; school, home, hobbies and activities, family and friends. We are all involved, not one person is free from worries about loved ones and we are all looking for ways to better support them.
In parenting we fall into patterns of behaviour sometimes because that’s what we’ve always done, or it’s what our parents did, what we believe is the ‘right thing’ to do or say and despite evidence that it’s not working we continue to do these things in the hope that one day we will get the results we want.
‘If we always do what we’ve always done then we will always get what we’ve always got’. I ask parents what they want to change. What is their desired outcome? What do they want rather than what they don’t want. So often parents think in terms of what they don’t want. Tantrums, answering back, disobedience, cheek, untidiness these are often mentioned. Parents use the ‘don’t word all the time. They focus their attention on what’s not going well.
I encourage you to use ‘towards’ thinking and ask you to notice the behaviour you want to see more of rather than the behaviour you want to see less of. What you focus on is what you get more of and that is so true in parenting.
How will it benefit your children or the children you care for?
There are a great many reasons why NLP works so well with children and young people.
You will learn lots of tools and techniques that will help children to:
How will it benefit you as an existing NLP Practitioner, EFT Practitioner, Hypnotherapist, Coach?
Although you already know all the principles of your therapy modality and how to use the tools and techniques with adults, it is very different working with children. I will teach you how to use NLP with parents, children, young people, teachers and carers.
I’m often asked how it’s different working with children. Here are a few ways:

"Judy, when I first started on my NLP road and I attended one of your parenting chats I found you inspiring, informative, friendly and keen to help me by sharing all your knowledge. From a parenting chat you became my mentor and trainer . I am loving my new career and all the clients, friends, biz girls I have met and it is all thanks to you. You are a truly inspiring lady with a passion for helping others. Thank you" 🙏🏻❤️
Emma Hossack, one of my recent students on the NLP Kids Practitioner Skype course.
I highly recommend this course, for a beginner or like me as a practitioner looking to specialise in young people. Thanks to Judy Bartkowiak and her course, I have had some tremendous breakthroughs with my clients and my own children. My sessions are fun, meaningful and really tailored to young people which makes this course very unique. Thanks Judy, I can't thank you enough !
I have been training NLP Practitioners in working with children and young people for over 10 years. I am certified as a trainer through ANLP and my courses are accredited to Sue Knight who trained me.
I have more recently qualified as an EFT Trainer with Karl Dawson although I've been using EFT with almost every client daily for nearly 3 years.

How will it benefit your children or the children you care for?
There are a great many reasons why NLP works so well with children and young people.
- Children are like sponges, they soak up new ideas and embrace change and choices. They have not become numbed by bitter experience or resentful. They are open and ready to learn.
- The NLP techniques and exercises are simple and easy to do and to replicate anywhere so kids can use them at school, home, anywhere
- NLP is positive, it is about focusing on what we do want not what we don’t want, focusing on when things are going well, modeling excellence, what we do well and the structure of excellence.
- We even teach that there’s no failure only feedback, how empowering is that for a child?!
- We do not prescribe, we give children choices and the more choices they have, the more flexibility and the more control they have in every situation.
- Everything is possible with NLP the only thing stopping a child is the child itself so you will learn how to help them overcome their limiting beliefs.
You will learn lots of tools and techniques that will help children to:
- Find different choices and solutions to issues they face at school and at home
- Overcome limiting beliefs including those created in earlier childhood
- Boost their confidence and self-esteem
- Manage their anger and causes of it
- Manage their anxiety and causes of it
- Learn more effectively by boosting their concentration and focus
- Improve their communication skills and rapport
- Improve their physical performance
- Manage the feedback they get and turn it into learning
How will it benefit you as an existing NLP Practitioner, EFT Practitioner, Hypnotherapist, Coach?
Although you already know all the principles of your therapy modality and how to use the tools and techniques with adults, it is very different working with children. I will teach you how to use NLP with parents, children, young people, teachers and carers.
I’m often asked how it’s different working with children. Here are a few ways:
- The child has probably not requested the appointment. They possibly don’t want to be there.
- They may not acknowledge that there’s a problem. It is probably someone else’s fault! They’re just fine!
- The ‘problem’ or ‘issue’ may not be theirs. It could well be the parents’.
- They know they have feelings, feel sad, confused, angry but they don’t want to talk about it or share the feelings.
- They don’t have the verbal skills to express what’s going on so we need to use play therapy, art, drumming, glove puppets, play doh and so on.
- Children automatically think the adult knows the answer so unlike an adult, they will say they don’t know quite a bit because they are scared to get things wrong. Therefore, it’s really important to be alongside them in a ‘not-knowing’ place. This is not what an adult client expects or wants.
- They may have been given a label which has become their identity and they feel this is who they are. It has become a ‘stuck state’ so no-one can help them.

Experience with children
I am a mother - I have four children aged 20-32yrs
I ran a Montessori School for 7 years while my children were young
My background is children’s market research for TV companies, publishers and toy companies.
So children have been a big part of my life for many years even before I set up NLP Kids, coaching children and young people and training those who want to work with them.
