Hand in Hand Parenting is a charity that, for over 35 years, has supported parents, and professionals who work with children, to foster the healthy development of their emotional regulation skills. The five Listening Tools at the core of this approach are easy to learn and hugely effective in resolving conflicts and building nurturing, caring and enjoyable relationships that last a lifetime.
