What parents are saying

‘I never realised how important emotions are in behaviour. Emotions play a big role in behaviour, with other emotions causing anger.’

‘Thank you for the chance to do the program — it is the best thing I have done to improve my relationship with my kids.’

What is Tuning In To Kids?

Tuning in to Kids is a 6-session group parenting program that helps children learn to understand and regulate their emotions. It teaches parents:

awareness and regulation of their own emotions
awareness of their children’s emotions
to use children’s emotional experiences as an opportunity for closeness and teaching
skills in assisting children to verbally label and manage their emotions
skills in assisting children in problem solving
to guide children’s behaviour with appropriate limits
The research evaluation of Tuning in to Kids found that when parents learned these parenting skills, this was related to improvements in children’s emotional competence, social skills and behaviour. For children with behaviour or anxiety problems, the program was particularly effective.

The ideas and techniques taught in the program are useful for parents of children of all ages, but are particularly relevant for parents of preschoolers.
