Help is at hand! The HandinHand approach will give you a good framwork for staying close, and setting meaningful limits, as your children get older.
If you are familiar with Hand in Hand, and have used The Listening Tools when your children were younger, you may find they need a bit of adjusment to account for your childs bigger size, extra volatility and new interests. Madeleine has been working with parents of pre-teens (8-12) and teens (13+) for many years. She’ll help you navigate your way through this often difficult part of parenting.

What parents have said about Madeleine
Madeleine is the parent of a teen who has been using and teaching Hand in Hand Parenting for over 30 years. This is what parents have said about her:
“I’ve done a lot of parenting courses, and read a lot of books. In one session, Madeleine communicated a picture of why my children behave the way they do. It made more sense of what is going on than anything else I’ve come across. She offered practical strategies and approaches that I will go home and try. I’m looking forward to learning more.” Mother of 5 y.o twins and 9 year old, Wiseman’s Ferry, NSW, Australia
