Tuning in to Kids™

“Children learn about themselves by the way we communicate with them”

Dan Siegel MD

How do you deal with your children when emotions run high?
Does this sound familiar?

  • 2-year-old James lies facedown screaming at the supermarket checkout
    because he wants an icy pole.
  • 3-year-old Tom cries and says he doesn’t want to go to kindergarten.
  • 6-year-old Lucy says that no one likes her
  • 8-year-old Billie is refusing to go to school
  • 4-year-old Alex is teasing his younger sibling all the time

Do you want to be able to:

  • Tap into the parenting skills that you already have
  • Feel more confident in your parenting
  • Establish better relationships with your children
  • Teach your children to regulate their emotions
  • Manage challenging behaviour
  • Bring about more peace in your family

Do you want your children to be able to:

  • Understand themselves and others
  • Develop a strong positive sense of self
  • Create strong friendships and relationships
  • Be able to concentrate better in school
  • Have fewer problematic behaviours
  • Be more resilient

I facilitate Tuning in to Kids ™ an evidence-based parent education program developed by the University of Melbourne. Interactive and practical, it gives parents a new way of thinking about children’s development and how to use tricky moments to connect and teach.
