What Parents Are Saying...

These tools helped me slow down and prioritise our relationship again.
"I was given a little present (by my daughter). I unwrapped it and it was a card she’d made for me. It said “Mum. - Kind” on the front and inside it said “thank you for being so kind to me the last few days, I love you mum”. 😭😭😭😭. Made me cry because I didn’t think I was “unkind” before but it really highlighted that I hadn’t been making our relationship and connection points as much of a priority as I should have."
- Mom of 3

Such a big and fast shift in our home.
“The difference in our home was noticeable within days. The kids were calmer, kinder to each other, and there was way less fighting. Even my mum commented on how different and relaxed they seemed, which really said something.”
- Mom of 2
-
My go-to for parenting resources that actually work.
“I bought the very first Advent Calendar years ago… and I’ve pretty much bought everything since. What I love is how practical and step-by-step it all is. You can tell these tools are made by parents who are actually living this, not just talking about it.”
- Mom of 3

When parenting feels harder than it should...
It’s rarely because you're doing too little.
More often, it’s because connection has slipped.

Meet Matt & Linda: Helping families protect connection where it matters most.
At The Thriving Home, we help parents protect connection before problems escalate.
In busy, loving homes, connection can slip without anyone meaning it to. When it does, behaviour becomes harder and parenting feels heavier.
Our work is grounded in attachment theory, brain science, and real family life. Offering effective, practical tools & systems to help families reconnect early and stay the key influence in their children's lives.
CONNECTION ISN'T A NICE TO HAVE. IT'S THE FOUNDATION.
