Professionals & Organisations

Tuning in to Kids® is a suite of evidence-based parenting programs, first developed by Professor Sophie Havighurst and Ann Harley in 1999. The programs include Tuning in to Kids®, Tuning in to Teens™ and Dads Tuning in to Kids™ and focus on the emotional connection between parents and children. The connection is strengthened by helping parents become more aware of and able to manage their own emotions, as well as teaching them skills in how to respond to their children’s emotions using an emotion coaching parenting style (Gottman, Katz and Hooven, 1997).

Our parenting groups are run exclusively by professionals who have been trained and certified as Tuning in to Kids®, Tuning in to Teens™ and/or Dads Tuning in to Kids™ facilitators, and are in high demand around Australia and internationally.

Our trainings qualify all attendees as certified Tuning in facilitators and equip you to deliver our programs.
