Parenting Tough Kids Program
The Parenting Tough Kids Program was developed as a self-paced, on-demand program for parents of kids with complex behaviours. In the video series, our clinicians and highly trained instructors, guide parents to increase mental health knowledge and to manage their children’s challenging behaviours. The parents are taught effectiveness skills to help them remain calm and effective during interactions with their child.
oUTCOMES AND RESULTS
Kinnections’ successful parenting programs result in a strengthened parent-child relationship, with clear behavioural strategies for both parents and children. In the Parenting Tough Kids Program, parents will learn mental health and regulations skills, communication, behaviour management, and de-escalation. Emphasis is placed on communication as well as understanding and addressing the roots of challenging behaviours.
Caregiver coaching support
Caregiver Coaches connect with parents when they are booked for a learning/coaching session. During their sessions, the coach can work through any emergent needs that the parent or caregiver brings forward. We have found that it is even more effective if the coach reviews the Parenting Tough Kids video with the caregivers. Once the highlighted skills or learning has been reviewed, the coach can assist with practicing parenting skills. Coaches assist parents in setting and researching goals and can encourage them to stay on track and accountable to their progress.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often a caregiver accesses coaching is entirely up to them. They might want to simply work through the video series on their own, and then connect with the coach as needed.
Questions they might ask themselves:
- How critical is it for our family, and my kid, that we start to use some new skills?
- How much support do I need?
- How much can we fit into our busy schedule?
If a parent wishes to work through the whole program with the support of a Parenting Coach, parents will meet with their coach a total of 20 times, typically once per week. Weekly sessions will alternate between teaching and coaching sessions.
The Parenting Tough Kids Program is booked through Kinnections.

Parenting Coaches will meet with parents weekly for alternating teaching and coaching sessions. These meetings will take place over Zoom calls or in person at the Kinnections offices. The behaviour specialist will discuss the timing of these meetings in the orientation email. All communication will take place through the Family Solutions School 1:1 coaching space, where coaches can send check-ins, reminders, and schedule meetings. In the orientation zoom call, the parenting specialist will introduce parents to the 1:1 coaching space.
