Who are we?

Our clinical child psychologists all have Masters degrees in psychology, and have worked with children and families for between 8 and 22 years. We still work every day with children with diagnoses such as ASD, ADHD, learning disorders, sensory processing disorders and trauma - as well as with children who just need some extra support in managing tough life situations or their strong emotions.

Is a family ready for Calm Kid Central?

Family life is busy! But in order to benefit from the program, it is essential that parents/caregivers are able to commit to 15-20 minutes at least once a week to watch the video lessons with their children, help them complete the activities and games and to watch and read the parent/caregiver lessons.

Learning more about a child and tracking their progress

Parents/caregivers - we will ask you to fill in questionnaires about your child at the beginning and 4 months into the program - you will get an email with your child's results and can track your own progress.

Really helpful! My son had significant anxiety and my daughter experiences lots of big feelings but with the videos and tip sheets I feel so much more confident that I have strategies to help them!

….the videos are so incredibly helpful and the worksheets are also a wonderful support…keep up the superb work!

The videos for children have been helpful for my son. He likes watching them. We have been able to use some of the ideas in talking to him about issues and behaviour.

Very helpful to work through problems with emotions that arise as my 6 yr old navigates his first year of school and manages new friendship groups and challenges.

Very helpful with the videos I’ve been able to show my kids. It can sometimes explain things better than I can. our son especially liked the ones about understanding anger.

Very helpful. Great resources and the animated lessons for kids are very clear and my son is happy to watch them when asked and has been able to understand the message it’s sending.

My older daughter …loves watching the videos…(she found them) comforting and watched them many times over. She also used the worksheets and kept them next to her bed to use when she was feeling sad….I would definitely recommend this resource to other families with children needing some emotional support.

A very helpful resource, accompanies what is learnt in therapy sessions. Another positive tool to help kids, rather than just parents input, it adds more weight.

I use the knowledge I have gained from CKC everyday and feel more confident in my parenting. My children have enjoyed and benefited from the videos and sheets.

I have found the content ….and the posters with my children helpful for both me as the parent and the kids. …I feel as though by reading the content I am able to understand my children's perspective more and be more empathetic towards them.
