About

You are probably here because something in the household has stopped working and the usual adjustments are no longer touching it. Perhaps you are also quite tired of advice from people who are not living in your house. Most parenting advice fails because it assumes a family that does not exist, with unlimited patience and no competing demands. We start from your actual circumstances instead. That means we work out what is realistically available to you in terms of time and energy, and then build something that fits inside it rather than something that requires you to become a different person. I trained as a researcher before moving into the room, and I retain a healthy scepticism about confident advice offered without evidence. You will get fewer rules from me and better questions. If the usual adjustments have stopped working, get in touch. Small changes that survive a bad week are worth more than ambitious ones that do not.
