Family life can feel hard. You don’t have to navigate it alone.
Sometimes family life can start to feel a bit harder than it needs to be. Perhaps you’re worried about a child, facing some challenging behaviour or simply feeling that your family mojo has gone AWOL. We will help you take a step back, work out what’s going on and offer sensible guidance tailored to your specific family dynamics.
Modern family life is complex.
Parents today are dealing with issues without generational precedent, which are constantly changing in nature and complexity. From phone usage, social media and AI, to rising pressure around future prospects, modern parenting can seem like a long hill climb that gets steeper with every step forward.
But you don’t have to walk this path alone.
How can North Star help?
Families come to us for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes there is an obvious challenge, but sometimes family life has simply become harder than it needs to be.
You might be:
feeling overwhelmed by parenting
concerned that everyone is busy, but somehow becoming less connected
finding that conversations increasingly end in arguments, shutdown or frustration
struggling with boundaries around screens, independence, school or behaviour
unsure how much to guide a young person and when to let them make their own decisions
dealing with a change in family circumstances or relationships
Where do we start
We don’t begin with a predetermined programme. We begin by understanding your family.
Sometimes it makes sense to work with a parent. Sometimes we work directly with a young person. There may also be times when working together is useful.
We’ll recommend the approach we think is most likely to help.
