Become a more confident parent by learning about child brain development, challenging behaviour, communication and your own wellbeing needs because parenting is a journey that is always changing!
For teenagers, specialist online learning will help you make sense of brain changes during adolescence and what that means for how you feel, make decisions, and connect in your important relationships.
For parents and carers
Learn about your child’s development with free online courses for parents and carers and build your confidence in parenting. Courses cover the stages of a child’s development with helpful advice and ideas from other parents as well as NHS professionals.
The courses are for you if you are interested in better understanding children’s feelings and how to nurture positive mental health or if you are perhaps worried about challenging behaviour.
For grandparents
Accessible learning for grandparents who want to understand the evolving needs of children in the modern world, as well as evidence-based parenting tools and techniques informed by psychology.
For teenagers
Have you ever wondered why making decisions becomes so hard in adolescence or why emotions seem bigger and more intense? Online learning for teens explains how brain development impacts the way we feel and even behave. Follow our courses ‘for teenagers only’ to understand what this means for you.
Understanding adult mental wellbeing
Emotional health is all about relationships. As social beings, we experience the world through a range of relationships. Our courses for adults (and young people) provide a reflective space for an in-depth understanding of your own mental wellbeing and needs.

Testimonials
'Well presented information, with enough biology/explanation to fully understand the changes that are taking place - also good/helpful suggestions of how to accommodate the teen years - thank you.'
Tutor Understanding your teenager’s brain'My 15-year-old watched the sensory video clips. He identified his brother's behaviour in some of them but very much saw himself. He commented, 'Mum, that's me, and that's why I do what I do!'. He asked me for the link for the clips and sent them to his friend, who had been calling him weird, so he could understand him better. He also opened up to his friendship group about his autism and can talk to them about what it is like to be him.'
Parent Understanding your child with additional needs'A very easy-to-understand way of putting things, and no longer will I fight against things that I can not change due to biology.'
Teenager Understanding your brain (for teenagers only!)Do you work with children?
