Broadly speaking, two groups of professionals attend the PresentChild Translator training:

People working in mainstream health care professions*
who sense that there is more to upbringing than parenting.
They sense that children mirror their parents through the problems that show up in children's lives.
They understand that the connection the between parent(s) and child and their mutual love is strong.
They are looking for more depth and new tools to let/help parents become part of the solution.

People with/in holistic health care professions* who usually sense the underlying factors causing problems in families and children.
However, when they try to communicate their feelings/thoughts about the situation they often encounter resistance or guilt in the parent. 
They are constantly looking for the right words to accurately strike the just right chord in the parent so that parents themselves can feel from within what changes are needed.

The coming together of these two groups of professionals has turned out to be very valuable and enriching. 

These online international trainings are organized because Janita is looking for successors to continue her work in other countries around the globe.

* Mainstream professions including family counsellors, (ortho)pedagogues, family, relationship, parenting and child therapists or coaches, social workers, psychologists, paediatricians, child protection workers, divorce mediators, either self-employed or working in an organisation.

* Holistic professions including family constellation therapists, classical homeopaths, naturopaths, NLP-coaches, hypnotherapists, systemic coaches, creative or dance therapists, energetic therapists, holistic-educated child coaches, either self-employed or working in an organisation.

In the PresentChild Translator Training we work in five general areas:

• Translating children's behaviour and problems for their parents
• Feeding back the translation to parents in an accurate, resonating and loving way.
• The developmental stages of children as a mirror for adult development, awareness and healing.
• Theory about all aspects of a PresentChild consultation: intake, translation, feedback and follow-up.
  This includes the translation of relationships.
• Personal process based on translations and developmental stages of children translated for adults.

PresentChild is always with me as a living and wonderful reality. It is not a way of thinking, but a way of living. Not a way of looking, but a way of seeing. I am so glad I signed up, that I got to know this!

"This method is more than gold."

For me, the PresentChild Translator training has been a truly enriching experience. It has given me space and freedom. Because of this training, I can look at our children and the world in a different way and my lifestyle has naturally adapted accordingly.  Each lesson was full of new insights, opportunities that I was allowed to let in and invitations to step outside my comfort zone again and again. I learned that my wobbliness and doubt are okay to feel: they are properties of me that were allowed to be there and that brought me further. Important parts of my inner child have been seen, heard and grown in the past year and are finally allowed to play outside again. Properties and experiences that I can use to invite other parents to open up too. Since I can put into practice what I have learned, I know how to open the path to healing for my clients and their children. They allow themselves to be touched by their child(ren)'s message. Working no longer feels like work and I am so incredibly grateful and proud that I took the step to follow this wonderful training. I Highly recommend it for anyone who wants to experience their (inner) children differently and wants to see the value of everything that presents itself in them. Also it is a great method to apply in your work and/or way of life. 

"I loved the training so much; the method is simple and that is its strength at the same time."
 
"PresentChild is a huge asset in my work with children and parents, I knew that parents and children influenced each other but the depht and accuracy was completely new to me."

"I am very impressed by the directness and speed with which the core of the problem is brought to the table."

"After this training, nothing is the same. I look at myself and the world completely different. It has taught me to recognise what I didn't know. Those traits and abilities that suddenly reveal themselves to me through a child, broadening my vision, challenging me. It helps me to gain insight into myself and through my insights I can bring others to insight as well."

"This is the psychology of the future." 

"Doing the PresentChild Translator training has been one of the most important decisions in my life for me. Personally, it brings me so much. I hope to be able to pass it on again." 

"The PresentChild Translator training allowed me to substantiate my feelings about what I observed in children and what I felt was being related to the home situation. The concept of PresentChild became truth for me. It just made sense, I could test it in dealing with parents and children but also with my own children. You could say that the training gave me the tools to not only help others but also to pick up my own piece and for that I am very grateful."

"I'm happy with translating and it makes it more and more clear to me how strongly this method works!!!
Keep it up, with training and the energy you guys put into it!"

"This is the most intriguing training I have done. An extremely effective tool for contributing to solutions to people's issues. I am very happy with that for my coaching practice."
