Do you feel ashamed of how you parent?

In parenting, ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ feeds shame and shame puts you at the mercy of a model that will keep you searching for answers forever.

ABOUT

Have you ever found the 'rule book' doesn't fit your child or family. So did we. So we decided to make a website that offered practical skills to build a way of living that could be responsive to whatever might present itself in family life.

​

That way rather than needing a 'rule book' there is a sense of being equipped to deal with whatever situation is in front of you.

​

The site is contributed to by experienced and qualified community workers. Each person is either a parent, works with parents, or works with children and young people. As such, they each bring to the project a perspective that considers the questions they are asked on a regular basis, or the behaviours they see are most prevalent in families today.

​

The website is currently under re-design and therefore all blogs have been removed to allow space for the expansion to our new site. Please stay in touch so we can let you know when we are ready to launch.
