Monika Zielińska
I am a teacher, a training specialist and a workshop leader.
About me
I really enjoy working with parents. They’re a unique group – one that’s often overlooked. Everyone talks about children – their needs and development, and of course the expectations placed on parents – and this creates pressure; I try to translate this into practical tools and show how to get to grips with it all, step by step. In my work, I view people as individuals in their own right, and as I’ve heard time and again from the people I’ve had the pleasure of working with – I give them hope.
Education and experience
I have been working with parents ever since I started working with children – that is, for 15 years now – in nursery and primary school. However, it was only when my own children were born that I realised just how different theory and practice really are. For the past 7 years, I have been learning a practical approach to bringing up and educating children. I take part in training courses on the development of both neurotypical and neuroatypical children. I’m learning how to be an effective, wise parent who builds a relationship not only with my child, but also with myself and my partner. I put this into practice in my own life and pass this knowledge on to others.
