Why I Matter Training? #1 How does it all fit together?

I Matter Training represents my attempt to pull a lot of these ideas together into a very practical back to basics approach.  I am a parent myself and I was a primary teacher and I know that parents and front-line professionals find psychology fascinating but they need it to be practical.   Professionals can still disagree quite vigorously and one of the things that they disagree about in children's services is whether something called CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy) is sufficient to help professionals and parents help children, especially complex children.  I don't think it is.  I think what is missing is a clear map that ties a wider set of ideas together.

I remember the sense of finally lifting my own head out of the fog when the ideas started to come together.   Now I call the I Matter Foundation Course, from Confusion to Clarity as I have seen such a lot of confusion in work with children with complex needs, and I feel that until we can agree as a community about what we are really trying to do when helping a complex child, we probably will not be very effective in helping address the number of children who are struggling.  

The second reason I decided to develop I Matter Training was the sheer numbers of children who were struggling.  More on that in my  Next Blog  Why I Matter?  Reason #2.
