Connected Families is a six-week attachment-informed parenting programme for parents and carers of children and teenagers with ADHD, autism, anxiety or heightened sensitivity.
The programme may also be helpful for any parent who wants to understand their child more deeply, respond to emotional overwhelm with greater confidence and strengthen their relationship.
Through a combination of professional guidance, reflection and practical tools, the programme explores how attachment, nervous system responses and family patterns can influence behaviour, communication and connection.
Across six live online sessions, Kaya and Francesca will explore the emotional, relational and nervous system factors that can influence family life.
The programme combines information, guided reflection and practical strategies. There will also be opportunities to consider how the ideas relate to your own child and family.
The group format provides a supportive environment where parents can learn without judgement and recognise that they are not alone in the challenges they may be facing.
Understanding stress responses, emotional overwhelm and what behaviour may be communicating.
Exploring attachment patterns, emotional safety, trust and connection within the family.
Developing clearer, more compassionate communication and recognising recurring conflict patterns.
Supporting children through emotional overwhelm while staying aware of the parent's own nervous system and staying regulated.
Creating clear, compassionate and consistent limits without weakening the parent-child relationship or making ‘no’ feel like a rejection for your child.
Strengthening trust, repairing past ruptures and creating realistic changes that can continue beyond the programme.
Connected Families is facilitated jointly by Kaya Winney and Francesca Melluzzi.
