Empower your kids! A coaching guide for parents – A Review
Empower your kids! A coaching guide for parents by Judy Bartkowiak We could all do with some ideas for coping strategies right now, and Judy Bartkowiak’s latest book covers a number of different techniques and strategies to help children (and adults) cope with a range of issues; from anxiety to low self-esteem and phobias. Bartkowiak explains the EFT ‘tapping’ principles and technique in depth and the steps of the technique are repeated throughout the book, so that you don’t have to keep referring back to an earlier section. I found the explanations of different personalities and the way different…

I am from Lancashire originally and moved to Reigate in the 80’s. As a newcomer, I was very grateful for the Family Grapevine when my children were small. I have since come to love the area – indeed what's not to like! Living on the doorsteps of London and the South Coast, our locale is also blessed as an Area of Natural Beauty dotted with oodles of sites of interest. Now my twins and their younger brother have fully fledged, I will have the time to enjoy nurturing and growing the Family Grapevine in East Surrey. The magazine is such…

I joined the group in 2012 having recently taken redundancy from the civil service after 15 years and wanted a job that fitted in better with my young family. A friend was selling the magazine and I thought it would be perfect! A new challenge, working from home with hours to suit my family. Three years on I now have magazines in two areas and absolutely love it. All the editors support each other including the very supportive directors who are very passionate about the group! Areas – Bromley and Croydon and Sutton What are you most proud of achieving as a…

The Grapevine has been my only publishing experience. I had an inauspicious start and was slow to get off the ground, but my skill sets are all the broader for it now. I am very happy with this path I've taken and don't foresee any further job change! I stumbled across a very early copy of the Family Grapevine in 1997 and answered an advert to join in and do a magazine in my area. This was exactly what I wanted. Working from home, being my own boss, but with support and reassurance in the background should I need it…
