Support for the moments that feel the hardest

Are you facing any of these challenges with your child?

Parenting children aged 4 to 16 can sometimes feel overwhelming. Many families experience stress, big emotions and communication breakdowns at home and at school. Stress Strainer supports parents and children to develop practical tools, guiding and supporting them to move forward together with greater confidence.

Coping strategies

Life gets tough at some stage, but strategies can make things easier.

Aggression

Useful mechanisms to avoid or resolve conflicts quickly and peacefully.

Building self-esteem

Self-esteem is strongly related to how you view and react to life.

Peers sometimes influence each other in negative ways; strategies can assist.

Domestic stress

Home worries take many forms, but guidance can help remedy them.

A school-home life balance can reduce stress and restore harmony.
