Parent Talk

Down-to-earth parenting advice you can trust.

We’re here for you, when you need us. Find answers to parenting questions in our advice articles. Or talk to a parenting coach about anything that’s worrying you. It’s all free, and no topic is too big, small, or embarrassing.

Featured topic: Talking to your child about upsetting news stories

News stories can be overwhelming or frightening for children and teenagers. If your child is worried about things they’ve seen or heard in the news, there are ways you can support and reassure them.
