Advice that does no harm
With the abundance of advice and ‘how to guides’ on the internet, it’s vital that parents have access to information and advice that is evidence based and most importantly, advice that works!
We all know that doctors take an oath to ‘do no harm’. Similarly, our parenting advice is based on this same mantra. In all the advice we give, we hold the relationship between parent and child as the key to change. We honour the vital and irreplaceable role that parents have to nurture and grow their children. We draw on the latest neuroscience-science research and put this in user-friendly language to enable parents to apply the learning to their children.
