Tuning in to Kids

This program helps parents and carers of children 12 and under ‘tune in’ and improve communication and connection with their kids. Practical tools help you build emotional intelligence in your child and manage challenging behaviour.

Overview

Who It's For

Tuning in to Kids is for parents and carers of Primary Kids (up to 12-year-olds) who would like to learn how to respond in a healthy way to their child’s emotions.

How We Help

Our facilitators help you support your children as they develop emotional intelligence and social skills, helping you navigate kids’ big emotions and challenging behaviours.

What to Expect

Our experienced facilitators work with small groups. With other parents, you will learn how to use the practical skills of emotion coaching to help children regulate and manage behaviours. These skills help your child respond to others in socially appropriate ways.
