Parents & Carers
Struggling to cope with challenging behaviours?
Connective Family can support you to build better connections with your child, manage challenging behaviours and improve family life.
You don’t have to struggle alone.
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.

For just £15 per month you’ll have access to:
- Sarah and the team whenever you need help through our special Facebook Group
- A huge library of training, resources, tools and techniques
- Specialist experts to help you with a specific problem
- Group hypnotherapy and relaxation sessions
- Special group discounts on all our classes and events
…and the comfort of knowing there’s a group of people who’ve got your back.
Community spirit is alive and well.
“You can share your bad days and your positive moments and someone is always there without judgement. Sarah always comes back to you with her fantastic knowledge and support. I would highly recommend the hub”
