The Parenting Journey
At The Parenting Journey we are passionate about supporting you, as parents, wherever you are on your journey.
Evidence-based parenting programs (Tuning in to Kids and Tuning in to Teens) give you tools to help your child develop emotional resilience and
competence in managing their emotions in healthy ways. This helps them to move through difficult times without being swamped by their emotions or alternatively pushing them down. This helps them to be able to read people and situations and more easily communicate as they go through the challenges and changes of adolescence. Improved communication helps you to stay connected to them and enjoy the journey. Our small groups give parents the opportunity to connect with other parents in supportive, non judgmental settings.
We all parent in different ways, but what we have in common is wanting the very best for our children and facing the challenges of parenting during a very different time to when we were growing up.

‘With my changes (controlling my anger, sharing his feelings, listening with empathy), my son has changed a lot. He’s very calm, very understanding, and very helpful. I feel the relationship with my son has become stronger and he trusts me more.’
