Key points about Tuning in to Kids

Emotion-Focused Group Parenting: Tuning in to Kids is an evidence-based, emotion-focused group parenting program. It goes beyond traditional parenting techniques and delves into the realm of emotions, recognising their vital role in nurturing healthy parent-child relationships. By focusing on emotional awareness and regulation, parents can foster stronger bonds and more positive interactions with their children.

Effective for Various Needs: Originally designed as a prevention program, Tuning in to Kids has proven to be highly effective not only in general parenting situations but also with children experiencing clinical-level emotional and behavioural difficulties. Research has shown that the program provides valuable support and strategies for children with diverse emotional needs, making it a versatile and impactful resource for families.

Expert Facilitator: Our facilitator has received comprehensive training from Mindful – Centre for Training & Research in Development Health at the University of Melbourne. With their expertise in the program’s principles and methodologies, they are equipped to guide and support parents in their Tuning in to Kids journey.

Neurodiversity-Inclusive: Emotional-focused parenting is particularly beneficial when raising children with neurodiversity. Our program recognises the unique needs and challenges of neurodiverse children and provides practical tools and techniques to foster emotional well-being and understanding within these families. We believe in celebrating and embracing the diversity of every child.

Trauma-Informed Approach: We understand that families with a veteran parent may face specific challenges related to trauma. Our Tuning in to Kids facilitation incorporates a trauma-informed approach, creating a safe and supportive environment for parents. We strive to ensure that our program addresses the unique needs of these families with empathy and sensitivity.
