When to seek professional parenting support

Often parents try many different strategies to help their child improve their behaviour, but nothing seems to work. There is a reason why challenging behaviour continues, and sometimes it can be that the child has developed a behaviour pattern. Once this occurs, it is difficult for parents to change, particularly as they are part of the dynamic. Seeking a behaviour change specialist professional will give parents the specific tools to turn the situation in a relatively short period of time. This is often transformational for families.

Behavioural issues that might require professional intervention

Do any of the following behaviours sound like your child or young person?



  • Regular tantrums or meltdowns
  • Difficulties following parent instructions
  • Stressful bedtime routines
  • Difficulties regulating emotions
  • Answering back and/or defiant behaviour 
  • Doesn’t listen
  • Aggressive behaviour, often hurting themselves or others
  • Disruptive and argumentative
  • Damaging property


If any of the above behaviours resonate with you, and you feel at your wit's end, reach out to us. Our behaviour management strategies are appropriate for parents and caregivers alike and offer constructive solutions to what can feel like an out-of-control situation.


You're not a bad parent, you just need help. Let us get you there.

Karen is warm, friendly and non-judgemental. I highly recommend Karen if you are dealing with behavioural issues, I wish we had found her sooner!"
