PARENTS
Online training and resources
empowering you to bring back the
joy of parenting
As a parent, you want the best for your child. Unfortunately, sometimes life doesn’t turn out the way you’d hoped for and you find yourself struggling with a child who displays difficult behaviour. There are many reasons for this and it’s important to find out why your child acts a certain way.
Maybe your child has learning difficulties, sensory difficulties, battles anxiety, or is on the autism spectrum. You’ve been searching for answers but you’ve found none.
Where do you turn for help and support so you can have the happier and more joyful family you’re longing for? Or just get out the door in the morning without any fights?
I’m a paediatric OT with more than 20 years’ experience who’s been helping parents like you to make sense of kids’ behaviour by providing easy-to-implement training and strategies.
Teaching Kids to Manage Anxiety
There’s good news: anxiety doesn’t need to have the last word.
I’ve worked with many children teaching them easy-to-understand techniques to reduce anxiety and stress. Realising the extent of this issue, I’ve developed an online course, Parent Toolbox for Anxious Kids, as well as a number of other online resources to help your child reduce anxiety.
You can also buy my book, Teaching Kids to Manage Anxiety, explaining the different types of anxiety and how you can help.

Helping Kids to Thrive
As an OT who’s worked with kids for 20+ years, I’ve had the privilege of seeing them grow in leaps and bounds as we’ve delved into the underlying reasons for their emotion-driven behaviour.
Parents play a pivotal role in helping kids to understand why they behave the way they do. Think of me as the paediatric OT who digs down into the nitty-gritty of life to find the real reasons for kids’ challenging behaviour.
It’s important for you as a parent to understand that ‘behaviours’ are really kids asking for help and support. It’s up to us to correctly interpret the clues so we can help children reach their full potential and thrive.
