About Marilyn Robb Expertise I am an educational psychologist and counsellor, with more ten years of experience in teaching, parenting, running support groups and workshops, teacher training and counselling. I would like to share my knowledge and expertise in issues particularly related to helping children cope with learning and the school experience.
I am a young Moroccan doctor and during my exercise i have observed that many children(that i love very very very much) have problems in solving problems and problems related to emotional intelligence if we compare them to others at the same age. for this Reason i am thinking about creating a center as a small business for teaching children these skills but there is a problem because i am just a man who is interested in this fields but i have no training about this and there is no available training in my country and the e-learning programs are very expensive for me. for this this reason i am writing to you with the hope to get from advice if i can train my self using books, forums....to get the necessary knowledge to launch my dream business and train others who will work with me.
Thank you very much."
Answer Dear Chakir
Thank you for your question.
I urge you however not to embark on such a program especially involving young children's mind and lives without the proper training.
Children's behaviour issues and emotional intelligence is not something one can learn from just reading a book. And especially if you are talking about training others. How will you train others if you yourself have not been properly trained?
The people who do this kind of work spend many years training and studying and then getting experience.
Your intentions are great and I know so many children need the help.
Maybe you can get someone to come to your institution to train a group of people and to work with the children until you have local people sufficiently trained.
However I would strongly advise against starting this without adequate training.
Hope this helps
