Lockdown Relationship Strain… As we were preparing to get married in 2012, we, as many couples do, went through a ‘Marriage Preparation’ course. Our Pastor, was fabulous and he helped us build a great foundation for our marriage, not least because he shared a lot of his knowledge of human psychology. One concept that really made a deep and long lasting impression on us both, was that of ‘Blocked Goals’. He explained that if you look at what causes upset or discord in a relationship, then it is almost always that one partner perceives that the other is standing in the way of something that they want (a goal if you will). It plays out in an infinite number of ways… here’s an example. Let’s say you’ve had busy day working and you’ve been thinking it would be great to snuggle up on the sofa and watch a film with your partner. That’s your goal for the evening. Your partner is also having a busy day and when they get home (or nowadays, leave their at home work station!), what’s on their mind is going for a run. After dinner you’re tidying up and thinking about what film to watch. Your partner appears in their running gear and announces they’re off for a run. You immediately feel let down… the way you saw the evening going was clearly not going to happen and it’s your partner that has ruined it. We can act as though our partner ‘ should’ have read our minds and just known what we want. They come back from the run and you’ve worked yourself into a real blue funk … you snap at them and the rest of the evening feels the weight of your simmering resentment… and yet they have absolutely NO idea what they’ve done. Because they had no idea that you had this ‘idyllic evening planned’ and even if they did, their idea of an idyllic evening today involved going for that much needed run! In the past year most of us have spent much more time with our partners than we usually do - working from home for many of us… or even in retirement having our ‘out of home’

activities than we might do separately from our partners, curtailed. And of course at the same time, there’s genuinely been much to be concerned about - from loss and grief: people, jobs, plans, finance, to the stress that comes with change (and hasn’t so much changed beyond recognition?). And finally many of our usual outlets for stress have been denied us like winding down on holiday, where you often find the ‘courtship’ in a relationship once again blossoms, fuelled by sunshine and freedom. If you find yourself feeling irritated with your partner (or kids, or friends or family for that matter), take a moment to ask yourself, “what goal is being blocked here?”. They’ll usually be one. Then be honest with yourself; does your partner even know that they are blocking your goal and is it reasonable for you to ‘set’ goals for them as well as yourself without involving them? Setting ‘shoulds’ for other people usually ends in a butting of heads, tears or an unbalanced relationship where one person simply submits to the other. These are difficult times, let’s be kind to one another… starting with banning mind reading!

We have all had to adapt to the ‘new normal’ over this past year particularly our children and their education. Once more Kip has adapted to the situation with a unique online option for when the schools are closed. We thought you might be interested in finding out how they have achieved this continuous progress for their students. In normal times Kip offers Maths and English tuition to children from the ages of 6 to 16. Our sessions hold a maximum of four students who are working independently under the watchful eye of a qualified teacher who is on hand to encourage, support and teach to progress further. This model has seen massive improvements in students’ levels of English and Maths right through to GCSE. When the schools were locked down, Kip introduced online learning, but not in a form the students would have been familiar with from their schools’ style of online learning.

So how is Kip different? Each student has their own password and log in for their laptop which needs a webcam and super-fast broadband. This allows them to get the same tuition, face to face online, as if they were face to face in the centre, with each student working through an individual lesson plan. The tutor has a maximum of three students online, but the students can’t see or hear each other so they are ‘safeguarding secure’. The tutor speaks to each student individually and, as in the classroom at Kip, the student is on the same learning pathway, tailored to their individual needs. If they get stuck, need reassurance, support or just to check that they are doing it right, they have a special button which holds up a hand which waves at the tutor. The tutor then can speak to them directly and give whatever assistance they require. As with the ‘normal’ Kip session they have explanations, tutor support and individual learning time.

Once schools reopen the students can transition back into the centre which adds the social element to their learning. We looked at the benefits to our students using this online teaching method during the first lockdown and found that… 1. Parents had back up with home schooling (we were happy to help the student with school assigned work if they and their parents were struggling). 2. Parents knew they had a regular time for the lessons and that their child was supported by a qualified teacher who is up to date with the national curriculum requirements. 3. The students didn’t slip further behind, in fact several of the first lockdown students progressed so far that upon returning to school they were ahead of their expected levels and consequently have been able to stop coming to Kip (but we are there if they ever need us in the future!) A student leaving us because they don’t need us any more is a win/ win situation. They move on and we can open up another space for a new student!

If you want to let us help your child’s educational progress call Jo for a free assessment on: 01629 56611 or 01246 220224

COMPUTER TIP Do you know your password(s)? Recently I've been called to sort out many problems such as users trying you set up a new computer or having email problems but finding they couldn't connect to many services because they didn't know the passwords! The computer has been remembering these passwords and now they need to enter them but can't remember them! NOW is a good time to make sure you CAN access all your important accounts; emails, banks, internet provider, Amazon, etc. Make sure you know the user id and password and write them all down in a dedicated notebook. If you don't know how to do this, email me for free advice. More details on facebook.com/callonken
