About
The Family Forum: Gentle Support for Real-World Parenting Parenting is perfectly imperfect. Have you ever heard the beautiful words of Gemma Douglas? "I try so hard to be the gentle parent. But I’m not all the time. Because sometimes I’m the impatient parent, the reactive parent, and the struggling parent. Sometimes I’m the anxious parent, the exhausted parent, and the overwhelmed parent. But I’m also the committed parent, the loving parent, and the forever-trying parent." If you’re that forever-trying parent, the one juggling chaos, connection, and constant questions...you’re in the right place. Welcome to the Family Forum. It’s your judgement-free space to get real support, straight answers, and practical tools from someone who understands what modern parenting actually looks like. Real guidance. No waitlists. No Instagram guilt. Getting support shouldn't be hard. The Family Forum gives you monthly access to a qualified clinical psychologist (that’s me, Emily), plus a growing library of parenting resources that are clear, honest, and designed to help. This isn’t a replacement for therapy. It’s the steady support system you wish came with the baby book. Inside the Family Forum, you’ll get: A live group Q&A call each month (with recordings if you can’t make it) A fresh article every month on a parenting topic that matters Video workshops and interviews with trusted clinicians answering real questions from parents like you Book reviews and recommendations that are actually useful A private community space for honest questions and connection Exclusive access to all parenting workshops from The Playful Psychologist (valued at $449) Bonus digital resources to use at home (valued at $150+) Support that fits around your family, your energy, and your reality. No pressure to be perfect... just help to keep going.
