What can you do to overcome your own stress and exhaustion to give your children the attention that they really need?
We answer this question through simple, easy to use strategies that are relevant to the real life circumstances of parents. We guide parents in how to balance the need for setting limits with the need to show compassion and warmth when emotions are running high. We empower parents and caregivers to navigate strong emotions and to develop deep connections with their child. Our approach is congruent with scientific findings on how best to increase a child's emotional intelligence, to build resilience and to help them thrive.

Calmer Parents: Raising resilient children without raising our voices

Our workshop is designed and facilitated by our practice director, Jessica Cleary. It is an evidence-based, attachment informed, parenting workshop that focuses on the emotional connection between parents and children.
In particular the program teaches you how to cope with challenging behaviour so you can respond with compassion and calm rather than anger and yelling.
Target age range of children is 2-10 years.
