OUR CLEAR, HONEST PRICING

Highly recommend Karen for support and guidance if you‘re struggling with challenging behaviours. We felt like we’d “tried everything” and were really overwhelmed with all the information out there about what to do. Karen was able to give us real direction and structure and we saw a huge improvement in our 4 year old‘s behaviour straight away. It’s had such a positive impact on our family and we feel much more confident going forward.

— Wellington parents, May June 2026.

Do you need support for your child or teenager's behaviour?

Parenting can be one of the most rewarding experiences in life, but it can also be one of the most challenging. Parenting doesn't come with a training manual, there is no specific job description, and you are required to work most days of the year! At CBS, we believe seeking the support of a child/toddler behaviour specialist can make a world of difference in your home.

I'm Karen Campbell, a child behaviour specialist committed to helping families!

We help families experiencing difficult behaviours and assist with various negative actions, including:

  • Bedtime Routines
  • Putting Things Away/Chores
  • Getting Ready For School
  • Tantrum Behaviour
  • Ability to Focus On A Task
  • Picky Eating Habits
  • Following Adult Instructions
  • Managing Emotions and Disappointment
  • Making Friends and Sustaining Friendships
  • Losing Games and Having A 'Meltdown'

We also assist older children and young people who display difficulty with:

  • Communicating With Others
  • Using Positive Coping Strategies
  • Responding To Reasonable Requests
  • Completing Homework Requirements
  • Engaging in School Requirements/Activities
  • Maintaining Positive Friendships

Who do we help?

We help any parent, caregiver or adult who would like assistance with preventing behaviour that is causing disruption or distress to daily life. Our support programs are specially tailored for children experiencing behavioural issues and the adults who care for them. Our positive behaviour support specialist works with families of children as young as two, all the way up to and throughout the teenage years.

At CBS, we believe that the adults in the child or young person's life can bring about a significant positive change that will lead to positive relationships and success in life.

Disruptive children can also put a strain on the family/class dynamic, causing unnecessary distress to all parties involved. At CBS, we work individually with parents/caregivers of children who have disruptive behaviours at home or at school, helping to develop positive behaviour patterns and reduce or prevent the reoccurrence of problem behaviour. This service is completely confidential to CBS, and we will never share client information without your permission.

How we work

Free Ten-Minute Consultation

A ten-minute consultation is an easy way to determine if our services are the right fit for your family's needs. This is a FREE, no-obligation consult that allows you to find out if our service is right for you and your family.

Initial Consultation Meeting via Zoom

This meeting centres around determining the current situation and the focus of the plan. A brief summary of the issues will be written up to guide the next steps of the process.

Setting Up Plan and Monitoring

  • Brief summary of the issue from the initial consultation.
  • Data collection that could include child observation, questionnaires and analysis, and further interviews.
  • Further one-hour consultation of findings from observations and/or interviews. Brief assessment report of current situation and recommendations for the behaviour plan.
  • Development of a plan with target behaviour established. This will include specific strategies developed by our child behaviour specialist to be used by the parents.
  • A summary of the type of monitoring that will be needed in order to ensure the successful implementation of the plan. This could be emails, further half-hour consults or even a slight adjustment to the plan if needed.
  • Together, we'll establish estimated timeframes and types of support needed so that you fully understand the process and the pricing structure.

Recommendations

At the end of the agreed service, there will be a consultation on how to sustain and maintain the positive behaviour change that has been achieved to ensure continued harmony in your home.

WHAT WE DO

At CBS, we work with the family to develop a programme of support. This includes a summary of the current situation from consultations and possible observations to assess why the behaviour might be occurring. We then establish a specific plan for parent(s) to follow so that they are able to manage the behaviour daily using recommended strategies.

An important aspect of our service is to ensure that parents feel supported to implement the plan from our monitoring process. We ensure that you have the skills and the support needed to mitigate challenging behaviour in your child/ren so you and your family can positively move forward.
