Courses for parents and families

We’re shaping our next series of MindMaps parent courses — designed with families, not for them. Tell us what topics would make the biggest difference in your home.

Parenting doesn’t come with a manual — but it can come with a map.

Every child sees the world differently, and these short, practical courses are designed to help you navigate the conversations, tools and frameworks that balance the practical use of technology with the safety

Each one offers simple, research-backed tools to bring more calm, confidence, and connection into daily life — turning routines into moments of growth, and challenges into conversations that strengthen understanding.

Because what happens at home shapes everything that happens in school.

01. The Learning Mindset

Focus:

Helping parents understand and influence their child’s growth through language, emotion, and mindset — drawing on NLP, Strategic Intervention, and developmental psychology.


Overview:

The Learning Mindset introduces parents to the psychology behind motivation, emotion, and learning — not through theory, but through practice.
Using simple insights from modern research, parents learn how to turn conflict into communication, stress into understanding, and routines into opportunities for growth.


Outcomes:

Communicate with empathy and direction, not emotion or frustration

Reframe challenges to build confidence and agency

Understand what drives behaviour beneath the surface

Support your child’s growth without creating pressure or dependency


Format:

4 video modules + 4 live Q&A sessions + reflection workbook (“The Connective Mind Journal”)

Module 1: The Map is not the territory

Module 2: Language That Leads

Module 3: The Six Human Needs at Home

Module 4: Reframing and Reset

02. Social Media, AI, and the Developing Mind

Focus:

Helping parents navigate the digital world with awareness, confidence, and calm.

Overview:
This course gives parents a clear, balanced understanding of how social media and AI shape children’s thinking, attention, and self-image. Instead of fear-based messaging, it focuses on how families can build digital resilience — developing curiosity, conversation, and conscious use rather than control or avoidance.

With practical examples and discussion prompts, parents learn how to guide their children through the online world with empathy and clarity — turning digital moments into teachable ones.

Outcomes:

Greater understanding of digital influence on mood and behaviour

Tools for setting realistic, values-based tech boundaries

Confidence discussing social media and AI openly without conflict.

Format:
45 minute video on Social Medial and children + downloadable “Family Digital Dialogue Guide”

03. 6 Human Needs at home and the science of calm

Focus:

Helping parents understand what drives children’s behaviour beneath the surface — and how to create calm, connection, and cooperation using the Six Human Needs and simple emotional regulation tools.

Overview:
Every action a child takes — from seeking attention to shutting down during stress — is driven by an underlying emotional need.
This course teaches parents the
Six Human Needs model (certainty, variety, significance, love/connection, growth, contribution) and shows how these needs shape behaviour at home.

Alongside this, parents learn the science of calm: how stress, overstimulation, and emotional overload affect a child’s brain, and how adults can regulate both themselves and their children using simple evidence-based practices.

Through real-life examples, guided exercises, and practical routines, parents learn how to respond to behaviour with understanding rather than frustration — creating a calmer emotional climate and stronger family bonds.

Outcomes:

Understand the emotional needs driving your child’s behaviour

Learn how to meet needs in healthy, balanced ways at home

Reduce emotional overwhelm for both child and parent

Improve communication and reduce conflict

Build calmer routines around mornings, homework, and bedtime

Strengthen connection and cooperation through small daily shifts
