Practical session for parents and educators

 Recently at Hatcham House in London, I led a seminar for parents and educators on children’s and adolescents’ motivation, exploring how modern technologies and AI are reshaping attention, interests, and future aspirations.

In my work, I view motivation as a dynamic cognitive process influenced by attention, emotions, memory, and environment. During the seminar, we focused on reflection and virtual reflection, metacognition, and children’s ability to recognise and regulate their own thinking in both educational and digital contexts.

Together, we explored how parents and educators can support:
💭 metacognitive skills;
💭 attention management and cognitive load regulation;
💭 autonomy and a sense of competence.

The practical part included evidence-informed tools drawn from my experience working with children. I increasingly believe that in a world shaped by AI and constant change, the key task is not controlling children, but helping them develop intrinsic motivation, reflective thinking, and the ability to make conscious choices.

👩‍👩‍👧‍👦 One particularly meaningful moment was feedback from the mother of a 15-year-old boy choosing his future educational path: “I am deeply grateful for this valuable seminar. My only regret is that I did not know these things earlier. If I had understood the psychology of motivation better when he was 11–14, I could have preserved my son’s belief in his own path and would not have discouraged him from pursuing his dream.”

I am sincerely grateful for the thoughtful feedback from parents and colleagues. Together with Wise Parents School, through collaboration and shared effort, we are making a difference.

Join us for an interactive session with Dr Taisiia Mukii — Family Wellbeing Consultant, Founder of Wise Parents School, PhD, ICDP facilitator, and Research Associate at Liverpool John Moores University — to explore how to build intrinsic motivation in children.

So your child wants to act, not just “has to.”

What we'll explore:

🔹 Why children lose interest or give up quickly

🔹 How to reduce control and build independence

🔹 How to support persistence and curiosity

🔹 How to strengthen the connection while unlocking your child's potential

What you'll gain:

✨ Practical tools you can apply immediately

✨ More initiative and engagement from your child

✨ Less tension and more cooperation at home

📌 Format: Interactive session + practical tools

📌 Who it's for: Parents of children aged 0–17

📌 Outcome: A calmer, more connected parenting approach

Motivation is not about control - it's about creating an environment where a child wants to grow.

Family Super Power Quest

A wonderful, emotional, and exciting event for children and parents!

Taisiia Mukii created an opportunity to reveal family superpowers – love, support, trust, and interaction! To complete the quest, participants carried out various tasks. A trip on catamarans under the "protection" of geese was a well-deserved reward! 😊 It was a real Family Fun Day!

Live training in London

 Being yourself isn’t always easy.

But a woman’s true worth doesn’t lie in how convenient she is for others, in the roles she plays, or even in her achievements.
Her true value lies in allowing herself to be alive — and in letting her inner light shine.

When a woman stops hiding and begins to embrace herself — everything she touches begins to bloom. That is her real power.

We invite you to a live training in London.

💫 What to expect:

▫️ Somatic techniques, deep transformation practices, and powerful exercises
▫️ Working through personal boundaries
▫️ Integration of resourceful inner states
▫️ A safe space to say “yes” to yourself — truly and deeply

🤍 This day isn’t about “becoming a better version of yourself.”
It’s about remembering that you already are valuable, strong, gentle, and whole.

✨ Just allow your inner light to shine.

🗓 Date: July 12, 10:30 AM
📍 Location: London NW10 3RN, Newman Catholic College, 153 Harlesden Road
