I’m Elizabeth O’Shea, a parenting coach, author, speaker, child behavioural expert and the director of Parent 4 Success, which I set up11 years ago. I am one of the leading parenting specialists in the UK.
I appear regularly on BBC TV and Radio. I’ve appeared on BBC Breakfast (with Charlie and Louise on the sofa). I have been interviewed on Radio 4 Woman’s Hour, The BBC World Service, and appear regularly on Sky News.
With four children of my own, I know how hard parenting can be!
I used to work for a charity called Home-Start, training volunteers to help families with children under 5. But I was made redundant when the charity ran out of funding. As it happens, just after losing my job, I had a slipped disk, which was pressing on a nerve, and it was so bad, I had to have emergency surgery on my back. While I spend 6 weeks not even able to sit down, I thought, what would I most like to do with my life?
The job I had enjoyed the most was when I ran my own parenting course, and I realised, if I could help a million children have a happier childhood, through helping their parents learn the best parenting skills, then, that’s what I would like to achieve in my lifetime.
Prior to setting up Parent 4 Success, I gained over five years’ experience training and supervising Home-Start volunteers who give support and friendship to families experiencing difficulties with children under 5. I also worked as a parenting specialist, for the YMCA, working with parents-to-be who had had abuse or neglect in the past to break the cycle.
I started running parenting courses in 2000 and have run parenting courses in schools in Surrey and West Sussex, and parenting workshops in schools, nurseries and Corporates throughout the UK
I have worked in the medical sector and parenting professionally for over 30 years. I have four children of my own so have first-hand experience of dealing with the demands of providing 24 hour care for children and all their challenges.
I’ve helped hundreds of families, just like yours. Parents who work with me end up with a well-behaved, happy, emotionally healthy child who can grow up and make the a real difference in the world. Plus have a calm, happy family life and the skill set to deal with any problems if they arise again.
Don’t put up with misery at home. You and your child deserve better! I can help you learn how to stop the angry outbursts, stop treading on eggshells, end sibling brutality, and get back in charge at home.
Arrange six online sessions to learn the skills you need to create peace and harmony at home. Become your child’s ‘anger management coach.’ Learn how to discipline your child without even raising your voice.
Enjoy family time. Feel proud of your child and watch them flourish. Hear friends and family appreciating your lovely child and soak up their complements on what a great job you’re doing.
I am qualified in four different types of parenting courses
Solihull Approach Parenting Programme Trainer
Approved Educator for The Parent Practice

I feel so much more in control as we used to feel bewildered and angry with our children and have actually started to like them again. I cannot recommend this online parenting course enough!
