1-2-3 Magic and Emotion Coaching
1-2-3 Magic is a group program designed for parents of children aged 2-12 years. The program focuses on helping parents and caregivers manage challenging child behaviours by providing effective strategies and techniques that promote positive behaviour and strengthen parent-child relationships.
Tuning in to Kids
Tuning into Kids is a parenting program that focuses on emotional development and aims to help parents build stronger relationships with their children. The program teaches simple emotion-coaching skills, guiding parents on how to recognise, understand, and manage both their own emotions and those of their children.
Tuning in to Teens
Tuning into Teens is a parenting program focused on emotions, designed to help parents build better relationships with their adolescents. Based on the Tuning into Kids program, this program teaches parents emotion-coaching skills and effective ways to respond to their teens, fostering a connected and supportive relationship. The program aims to prevent issues in adolescence, promote emotional competence in both parents and teens, and when needed, address and treat emotional and behavioural challenges in adolescents.
Parents under Pressure (PuP)
The Parents under Pressure (PuP) program is designed to support parents and caregivers facing multiple challenges. An individualised, therapeutic family support plan is created, drawing on theoretical models of child development, attachment, and emotional regulation. The ultimate goal is to help children reach their full potential while empowering parents and caregivers to create a family environment that nurtures this growth.
Parents as Teachers
The Parents as Teachers program is a comprehensive parent education model for families with children aged 0-6 years. The program aims to increase parent knowledge of early childhood development and promote secure parent-child attachment. Supporting safety, wellbeing and future success for children, the program can offer early detection of developmental delays and health issues and enhance school readiness.
PEEP Learning Together Program
The PEEP Learning Together Program supports parents and caregivers to maximise everyday learning opportunities and nurture the development of babies’ and young children’s learning through play. Parents and carers are encouraged to recognise and build on their own learning potential and achievements and develop sensitive and responsive relationships with their babies and children.
First Time Parent Support Group
We also offer a nurturing group for first time parents with infants aged from 6 weeks to 6 months, building meaningful connections and offering mutual support through shared experiences. Topics covered may include routines, milestones, brain development, wellbeing, learning through play, as well as getting to know your community.
