When children are anxious, reactive, clingy, withdrawn, or challenging, parents often get stuck between “being too soft” and “being too strict”. In this practical webinar, drawing on child psychology, attachment theory, trauma-informed practice, and play-based approaches, you’ll learn a clear, relationship-focused approach that helps you stay calm, set boundaries without shame, and strengthen your child’s confidence and emotional resilience in everyday family life. Conscious Parenting isn’t about being a “perfect parent” — it’s about noticing what’s happening underneath behaviour and responding in ways that create safety, connection, and growth.
Every parent has been there: the sudden meltdown, the door slamming, or the total shutdown where logic seems to vanish. We often try to reason with our children in these moments, only to find it makes the situation worse. This webinar dives ‘under the bonnet’ of the developing brain to explain why logic fails during an outburst and how the ‘Flipped Lid’ phenomenon actually works. Using practical strategies like ‘Connect and Redirect’ and ‘Name it to Tame it’, you will learn how to identify when your child’s survival brain has taken over and how to guide them back to calm. Join us to transform moments of chaos into opportunities for genuine connection and long-term emotional regulation.
When family conflict keeps repeating, the pattern matters. In this practical live webinar, Dr Kimberley unpacks three common emotional clusters, misaligned parenting, blame cycles and sibling rivalry, then shows parents how to spot them earlier, reduce escalation and strengthen family teamwork.
Anger can be one of the most challenging emotions to parent, especially when it shows up as yelling, hitting, refusing, or “meltdowns” that seem to come out of nowhere. In this practical webinar, we’ll discuss how anger can be a secondary emotion and a way children communicate their needs (not simply “bad behaviour”), recognise the early body signs that predict escalations, and respond in ways that foster co-regulation and open communication while still holding clear boundaries. You’ll leave with a simple, parent-friendly plan you can start using straight away.
