Compassionate Parenting Strategies for all ages

Support for Challenging Child Behaviour

It’s hard enough being a parent even when things are going well but when your child’s behaviour and attitude seems awful what can you do?

Is being a parent getting you down

Is your child

  • Refusing to listen to you
  • Throwing tantrums and abusing you
  • Not going to bed when you ask
  • Fighting with siblings

You’re not alone. It’s all too common but we can work together to make things better.

Working together for a calmer family

Becoming a parent is overwhelming and yet it also brings incredible joy. 

Through my Calm Family parenting support, I offer you a way to explore your instincts, tune into what feels right for you, and build confidence in your parenting journey.

What I offer:

  • Evidence-based information, not advice – All guidance is grounded in current research on baby brain development, confident baby handling, normal infant sleep, realistic expectations, and feeding.
  • An escape from ‘opinions’ – learn to navigate the well-meaning but often contradictory advice from friends, family, books, and even healthcare professionals.
  • Trust your intuition – Quieten self-doubt and become confident making decisions that feel right for your family.
  • Support for the whole journey – From pregnancy onwards we’ll cover the topics that matter most to you as a parent.
  • A calm, gentle method – A holistic approach that respects your family’s individual needs and circumstances based on empathy and understanding.
Calm, happy family

We had a one on one phonecall with Katie about our baby’s sleep. Katie took the time to listen to how we are feeling and what we were looking to achieve with his sleep. She then explained where he is currently with his development which helped us to understand what...
