Parent guidance for developmental stages and everyday family life

Individual guidance for parents and caregivers of children aged approximately 2 to 6 who want to understand what is coming and prepare for it.

You can seek guidance while things are going well, when you are unsure what to expect or when an everyday parenting difficulty needs attention.

We focus on one developmental stage, upcoming change or parenting question. We consider your child’s needs and your family’s circumstances, work through practical options and prepare a clear plan you can use at home.

Online Focused Parent Guidance Consultation

$195

Includes a brief pre-session questionnaire, a 75-minute video consultation focused on one developmental stage, upcoming change or parenting question, practical planning, parent practice and feedback, a concise written action plan sent within two business days and a 15-minute check-in 7 to 10 days later.

You can attend on your own, or one co-parent may join.

In-home Focused Parent Guidance Consultation

$295

Includes a brief pre-session questionnaire and a 90-minute consultation in your home across Boroondara and Melbourne’s eastern suburbs.

We work through your developmental stage, upcoming change or parenting question in the setting where your plan will be used. Observation or rehearsal is included where useful and agreed, alongside practical planning, parent practice and feedback.

You receive a concise written action plan within two business days and a 15-minute check-in 7 to 10 days later.

You can attend on your own, or one co-parent may join. Location and availability are confirmed before booking.

Which format should I choose?

Choose in-home guidance when working through your home environment, everyday routines or practical preparation in the setting itself would be useful.

Choose online guidance when discussion and practice by video suit your needs, or when online access is more convenient.

Both formats include preparation, individual guidance, practical planning, practice and feedback, a written action plan and a check-in.

This may be a good fit when

  • You want to prepare for your child’s next developmental stage.

  • A change such as starting childcare, kindergarten or school is approaching.

  • You are unsure what to expect or which expectations are reasonable.

  • You want guidance tailored to your child, household and everyday routines.

  • You want a practical plan for a specific parenting question.

Behaviour guidance is also available

If tantrums, transitions, routines or boundary difficulties are already recurring, the consultation can focus on understanding that situation and developing a practical parent response.
