Want stronger, sweeter connections in your family? Join Belynda from 9th April 2023 for an online Starter Class.

Kind words from those who've joined Belynda for the six week Starter Class
- As a new foster mother of an autistic non-verbal 5yr old, I found the Hand in Hand - Parenting by Connection course you provided to be one of the most valuable tools in my toolbox....Our quality of relationship has been enriched! The support group alone is undeniably a solid transformation but the tool of Stay Listening without judgement has allowed my journey of motherhood to be the most wondrous and creative expression of love.
- Belynda, your genuine approach, real life experiences and compassionate teaching nature lends itself perfectly to this role.
- There has always been love in our home. Thanks to Belynda, now there is peace too.

The Hand in Hand Parenting Starter Class is a six week opportunity for connection, support, advice and information.

Hand in Hand Parenting supports parents to make empathy and connection their go-to response for challenges in their lives, while giving them confidence to set the limits their children need.

The Parenting by Connection Starter Class runs for 6 weeks and introduces participants to five key tools to solve everyday parenting challenges. The tools are:
 
Staylistening is what really sets this approach apart, and current neuroscience is firmly indicating that this is what our kids need - a loving anchor in times of emotional upheaval.
Playlistening is a fantastic way of connecting well with our kids to help them use giggles and play to work through any issues they are facing.
Special Time gives families a chance to connect well and deeply on a regular basis.
Setting Limits is vital for our kids; setting limits without harshness can help our children internalise a solid moral compass.
Listening Partnerships provide parents with the support they need to in turn support their children well.

Each week between sessions you'll have the chance to view approximately 60 minutes of videos (in ten minute blocks) and complete 1-2 hours of reading. This workshop is a thorough and detailed introduction to the Hand in Hand Parenting tools. We'll meet online on Sunday afternoons (Western Australia time) from 5pm-7pm and share successes, challenges, questions and answers. I do hope you can join me!

Investment for this workshop is $350 AUD per person. Please contact Belynda if this is prohibitive to discuss scholarship options. If you are in a country with a much stronger currency (UK or USA) please consider paying 350 in your currency to support those requiring scholarships.

Welcome

Welcome hard-working parents and carers! I want to take this opportunity firstly to say thank you. Thank you for the hard work you do as a parent, for all the love and care you give to your children. You are just the perfect parent for your child, and you deserve so much support for all the work you do. As we move into a new year, and I begin a new venture in the form of Parenting by Connection, I hope you'll join with me in reflecting for a moment on the incredible job parents do. We are routinely unpaid or underpaid, with a million different job titles in any one day. In our society, parenting is not given the respect or the support it deserves. Parenting by Connection is an approach that aims to change that. By finding the resources and support you need, you'll be more able to offer your sweet children the connection they crave; and thanks to neuroscience we know that they don't just want this connection, they need it! Kids' brains are hard-wired to seek out ...

Connection Plans

We make plans for our dental health. Plans for our money. Plans for our meals and shopping. Something Parenting by Connection puts in the spotlight is the idea that our relationship with our kids requires thought and planning too! We use a tool called a Connection Plan. A Connection Plan can be as involved or as detailed as you like. It is tailor made by you, the expert on your family. Some of the questions and ideas you could use when thinking about how to connect well with your kids include: What are the kinds of things your kids struggle with? It might be transitions (going from brushing teeth to putting PJs on to getting into bed), it might be playing well with siblings, it might be separation anxiety that comes out whenever you aren’t in the same room. Thinking about our day, where do our kids get stuck on their big feelings? Is it at the breakfast table? Is it getting out the door for school? Is it after we meet up again at the end of the day? What is our relatio...
