About Calm Parenting Approach
Calm Parenting Approach is dedicated to helping families break the cycle of violence and negative behaviours. We do this by empowering families, children and young people by providing them with the support and resources they need to thrive.
Our principles
We believe in creating a safe and supportive environment where children, parents and caregivers are respected and heard without any judgment. Our approach is centered around finding interventions that align with and cater to the unique needs of each family. By doing so, we aim to empower parents and caregivers, allowing them to regain control and authority in their roles.
Our goal is to create a supportive environment where parents can confidently make decisions and feel understood and valued. We understand that every family is different, and therefore, we tailor our interventions accordingly, ensuring that they are effective and sustainable. Through this approach, we strive to foster healthy and positive relationships within families, encouraging the growth and development of both the adults and the children under their care.
Holistic Approach
Collaboration and Partnership
Empathy and Understanding
We work hand in hand with families, schools, social services and communities to provide comprehensive support. By fostering collaboration and building strong partnerships, we can create lasting positive change.
We take a holistic approach to support, addressing the physical, emotional, and educational needs of children and young people. By considering the whole person, we can help them thrive in all aspects of life.
