What does a Foundation Consultation entail?

A foundation consultation is usually in the form of a home visit, but can also take place online for those outside the areas of consultation. It is approximately 3 hours long and is fully comprehensive. Children must be present for the entire duration or at least the last hour of it. It is preferable that both parents (and/or any other primary caregivers) attend so that everyone can be on the same page. A qualified Munchkins Parenting Coach will come to your home and engage with you in your normal home environment in order to assist and guide you with the dynamics in the areas that are of concern to you in your family. After the foundation consultation, you are unlikely to need another consultation for another 4-8 months when your children reach their next age and stage. Occasionally a single 30-60min top-up consultation may be needed (R745), but usually a single foundation consultation is enough to cover it all.
