Positive Parenting Techniques
In our Parenting Program, you’ll discover evidence-based strategies designed to foster cooperation and mutual respect within your family. Through guided activities and real-life scenarios, you’ll learn how to set clear, healthy boundaries, reinforce desired behaviors with positive reinforcement, and replace punitive measures with encouragement and praise. By practicing these techniques, you’ll build a nurturing home where your child feels both supported and empowered.
-
Emotional Intelligence
This module helps you deepen your understanding of emotional intelligence in the parent-child relationship. You’ll gain practical skills for recognizing your child’s feelings, labeling emotions accurately, and teaching them age-appropriate tools to manage their inner world. As you model empathy and self-awareness, you’ll strengthen your child’s capacity to navigate stress, build resilience, and form healthy relationships throughout life.
-
Effective Communication
Strong family relationships are built on clear, compassionate dialogue. In this section, you’ll refine your active-listening skills, learn how to express empathy even in difficult moments, and practice conflict-resolution techniques that honor everyone’s needs. By adopting “I-statements,” reflective listening, and collaborative problem-solving, you’ll transform everyday interactions into opportunities for connection and growth.
-
Stress Management
Parenting often brings unexpected challenges—and your own well-being is essential to your child’s. Through mindfulness exercises, breathwork, and time-management strategies, this module equips you to identify and reduce your stress triggers. As you learn to model healthy coping skills, you’ll not only preserve your energy but also teach your child how to handle stress with confidence.
-
Developmental Guidance
Every stage of childhood comes with its own milestones and hurdles. In our Developmental Guidance module, you’ll receive expert insights on what to expect—from toddler independence to teenage autonomy—and how to tailor your approach accordingly. With age-appropriate strategies and practical tips, you’ll feel prepared to encourage your child’s growth, curiosity, and self-confidence every step of the way.
-
Behavioral Support
When challenging behaviors emerge, it can be tempting to react with frustration. This module offers a toolkit of consistent, compassionate discipline techniques that focus on teaching rather than punishing. You’ll learn how to set clear expectations, follow through with natural consequences, and reinforce positive choices—so that over time, you see lasting improvements in your child’s behavior and self-control.
-
Family Dynamics
A healthy family thrives on balance: honoring the individual while building unity. In this final module, you’ll explore strategies to strengthen your family’s emotional bonds—through shared rituals, open dialogue, and collaborative decision-making. You’ll also learn to navigate sibling rivalries, blended-family challenges, and shifting roles, creating a home environment where every member feels seen, valued, and connected.

Positive Parenting Program
This program focus on equipping parents with information and skills to increase confidence and self-sufficiency in managing child behavior.
It can be utilized with a wide age range of children from toddlerhood through adolescence.

Parent - Child Interaction Therapy
In this program, we work with parents and children together, teaching them skills to interact in a positive, productive way.
It is a practice-intensive mode, as parents demonstrate mastery of positive interactions and discipline strategies.

What's My Child Thinking?
This program covers important issues, such as temper tantrums, child friendships, sibling rivalry, aggressive behavior, and peer pressure.
There's also a bank of practical survival guides for critical times, such as traveling in the car, eating out, and going online safely.
Rooted in evidence-based clinical psychology and championing positive parenting, this program will help you tune in to your child's innermost thoughts and be the parent you want to be.

Parent Child Play Therapy
This is a play-based treatment program for young children presenting with behavioral, emotional, social, and attachment concerns. In a supportive group environment, parents learn skills to respond more effectively to their children's emotional and behavioral concerns.
The goal is to strengthen the quality of the parent-child attachment bond as a means of reducing child behavior problems and stress in the parent-child relationship.
This program was developed for children ages 3- 8, but has been adapted for use with toddlers and preadolescents.

Autism / ADHD Parenting
This program focuses on equipping parents with parenting approaches and tools needed to raise kids with ADHD or Autism. Developing an understanding of ADHD and Autism is often the beginning of a new journey within families, one that allows a better understanding of their children, who they are, and how they see the world.
We use a modular intervention that is based on research and clinical practice in the areas of social communication and naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions.

Teen Defiant Parenting
This program involves both parents, and teenagers. Parents will be trained with more effective tools for interacting with their teenager, specifically for handling noncompliance or defiant behavior, while there will be training for the adolescent to help them become a participants in changing the family dynamic.
In the second half, parents and teenagers are both trained in problem-solving communication.
