Learning is messy and takes time!

As parents we all want our young people to learn new skills, have better behaviours, to be kind, helpful, independent and responsible people BUT this doesn't happen overnight!

We all made plenty of mistakes on the way to becoming the adults we are now, and so will our children.

Anyone who has attended one of our Talking Teens courses will have heard us talk about parenting as bringing up the adults of the future - not just about bringing up children.

Dr Becky Kennedy https://www.goodinside.com/blog/the-learning-space-is-key-to-building-resilience/ talks about how frustrating and difficult we all feel when we are learning something new, and just like us, she encourages parents to support their children through this "learning space".

Check out this short video https://www.youtube.com/shorts/X689j743kzk if you would like to hear her speak about what is happening whilst our young people are learning and building resilience.

✨ Good news for parents in Hertfordshire ✨

We’ve received funding to run our popular Talking ASD & ADHD workshops — completely FREE 💛

These sessions are for parents who are:
• Raising a child with ASD or ADHD
• Supporting a child with additional needs
• Navigating anxiety, trauma, big emotions or tricky behaviours

We take an in-depth look at real-life parenting challenges — the situations that can feel overwhelming, exhausting, or isolating — and talk through them together in a safe, understanding, non-judgemental space.

You’ll gain:

✔️ Greater understanding of your child’s needs
✔️ Practical strategies you can use at home
✔️ Reassurance that you’re not alone

👉 To book your free place, check the flyer or click the Eventbrite link in our bio - look for our Talking ASD & ADHD Collection.

📩 Spaces are limited, so book early.
💬 Please share with another parent who might benefit.

Parenting doesn’t always look like the shiny, smiling photos we scroll past.
Some days are messy, loud, tearful, or just… hard.
And that’s okay.
Small changes can make big differences over time — and you don’t have to do it alone.
We’re here to support you through the real moments, not the filtered ones.
