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.
Parent Testimonials
"Karen has been instrumental in helping us to turn our little boys' behaviour around. We felt safe to share our experiences with her and she worked with us to design an approach to suit our family. Her approach is evidence-based and straightforward and we saw results within a few days of implementing her plan.
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!"
— Angela Toothill
"We thank Karen for all her help and the tools she has given us for our younger kids. We would definitely recommend Karen to anyone as it's transformed our lives.”
— Sam & Rebecca.
"We found Karen online when searching for answers on how to deal with our 2 and a half year old daughter's behaviour. She is a very spirited little girl and we were struggling each day with constant push back and completing everyday tasks was a battle. Karen has an overwhelming amount of really positive testimonials, so we gave it a go. We are so glad we did! We had an in depth chat with Karen who then came back with an easy to follow, thorough plan for us to implement. It made a positive change instantly. Not only did it help with the problems we first discussed, but it had a knock on effect with every aspect of her behaviour. It was a real turning point in our lives - we went from constantly battling to then enjoying each other's company with laughter and happiness. If you are thinking whether or not to get Karen's help, most definitely do it. "
— Max and Amy
