Parenting can feel relentless

Everyone at Connective Family has been where you are. And we still are, some days! We get it. We understand the struggles of managing challenging behaviours and the feelings that have brought you here. We hear you.

You feel like you’re out of control

Nothing you try seems to improve your child’s behaviour

You question your decisions and struggle to be consistent

You’re exhausted and feel isolated, overwhelmed and stressed

We can help

Connective Parenting NVR can help you build on your parenting skills and improve family life.

Parenting is rewarding, but it’s not easy. And it’s really not easy if you have no support network to rely on or if you sometimes struggle to understand what’s behind your child’s challenging behaviours. But you’ve got this, and you can do it.

Our step-by-step Connective Parenting toolkit is ready and waiting. With you at the parental helm, some handy tools and techniques and a healthy dose of connection and presence (our two favourite words), you can create a strong, happy, connective family. Let’s go.

  • A huge library of training, resources, tools and techniques
