Online Child Behaviour & Parent Support
What it Entails
Our Online Child Behaviour & Parent Support service helps parents and caregivers better understand what may be driving their child’s behaviour and develop practical strategies for responding to challenging situations. Rather than simply focusing on stopping a behaviour, we look at why it may be happening, what the child may be communicating or needing, and what changes can help.
Parents may seek support for concerns such as:
- Difficulty following directions or household routines
- Defiance, arguing, or frequent conflict
- School refusal or difficulty transitioning to school
- Behaviour changes since returning to school
- Difficult mornings, homework routines, or bedtime routines
- Emotional dysregulation and difficulty calming down
- Impulsivity and difficulty managing frustration
- Social or peer difficulties
- Behaviour that seems very different at home compared with school
Support is practical, collaborative, and individualized. Together, we explore patterns and possible triggers, identify what may be contributing to the behaviour, and develop realistic strategies that parents can use in everyday situations.
We also support families of children and adolescents with developmental and neurodevelopmental differences, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, intellectual and learning disabilities, developmental delays, speech and language delays, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), anxiety, and emotional regulation difficulties.
Sessions focus on translating this understanding into practical, usable strategies at home. Parents are supported in learning how to respond to challenging behaviours in ways that reduce escalation, strengthen connection, and support skill development over time. This includes help with routines, transitions, communication challenges, emotional outbursts, school-related difficulties, and co-regulation strategies.
Online sessions offer a flexible and accessible way for caregivers to receive support from home while working through challenges in a collaborative and supportive space. Depending on the needs of the family, sessions may involve individual caregiver work or include family members to better understand interaction patterns and support more positive communication.
