Tune in to solve problems 

Through the Tuning in to Kids® program you will start to notice your child’s emotions and learn the practical tools to know what to say and do to understand your child’s emotional world. We cover numerous parenting struggles like not listening, mealtimes, night time fears, not wanting to go to school, sibling rivalry, living between two homes and not wanting to do homework. Emotions are important to validate and understand. By doing the course you will find solutions to problems with your child and become more “tuned in”. 


How will my children benefit?

Tuning in to Kids® shows you how to help your child develop emotional intelligence. Children with higher emotional intelligence: 

  • Have greater success with making and keeping friends 
  • Have better concentration at school 
  • Are more able to calm down when upset or angry 
  • Have more stable and satisfying relationships as adults; and 
  • Have greater career success... emotional intelligence may be a better predictor of academic and career success than IQ! 

What is emotional intelligence?

Emotional intelligence is the ability to make your emotions work for you. By being aware of emotions they can help guide you to make decisions that are right for you; calm yourself down; manage anger and conflict; help you in your relationships and assist you in any aspects of life that involves you and another person. Emotional Intelligence allows you have more awareness and control over what you do and say and in doing so you develop more resilience to cope with change and lower stress. 



What parents say:

“It has made me a calmer parent and my child is calmer and we feel closer to each other. She is also better able to manage her behaviour.” 


“Tuning in to my Kids worked EVERY time…honestly, every time. Tuning in to low level emotions stopped them escalating, and improved understanding and co-operation between all of us. It’s a great feeling.” 


“It is great to connect with my kids in a different way and understand them more.” 


“The practical resources to use at home make a real difference.”
