In this episode of the Guilty Parent Club, Dr Jo introduces the final "child key" in her evidence-based parenting approach: the Child Physical Support Key. Building on earlier episodes exploring keys like predictability, perspective, playfulness and power, Dr Jo explains how parents can use physical support to help children succeed, especially when words aren't quite enough.
Dr Jo wraps up the Guilty Parent Club series, summarising what we've learned together, and how the 6 P Key framework provides practical techniques for fostering confidence and emotional regulation - both in children and parents - whilst embracing imperfection. This approach helps you and your partner or co-parent feel more on the same page, and brings your kids onto your team, all without the toxic pressure parents can face. You can take a breath of fresh air, and a sigh of relief knowing The Guilty Parent Club is here for you.
