Now&Next™ is a game changer in future planning
Introduced by Dr. Annick Janson
Introduced by Sylvana Mahmic
Welcome to **Now & Next**. We’re really glad you’re here.
As we move through the sessions, you will use your tailored Ebook (see below) and a Mindfulness Colouring Book as journey companions. In your colouring book, you can write notes, draw, colour, doodle, or mark ideas that stand out. Some people find it helps them think, reflect, or relax while we talk about different topics. There’s no right or wrong way to use it—just use it in a way that supports your learning and makes this time your own.
Below are some introductory videos situating our work within the Positive Psychology - or Wellbeing science - evidence based domain, a talk about the natural authority of families and a message from each of our co-founders: Dr. Annick Janson will explain more about the research that accompanies our program and Sylvana Mahmic will present our Child Voice model onto which our work is based: as parents our aim is to raise children to be as independent as possible so that their choice and control will be optimised to the level of their ability.
Enjoy the program!
Answer some questions and 2 minutes later you will receive your personalised report, tailored to your family and your child with some pointers on where to start progressing your goals! Participants love their Ebook. It can be printed as a journey companion to jot ideas and future plans. Click on: https://forms.gle/DRft2ECjpYJmth9P9
In Prof. Martin Seligman’s words a strengths-based approach is about *building what is strong, not just fixing what is wrong*. Now & Next is strengths-based because it helps families notice what is already working, what their child enjoys, and what gives their family hope and energy. Instead of focusing only on problems or deficits, it builds positive emotions, confidence, and a sense of meaning. By identifying strengths and using them every day, families are more likely to feel capable, motivated, and able to create a good life now and into the future.
