Chaos to Calm Consultancy

I Have done 2 of Chrissies courses and both have been eye opening, encouraging and realistic in helping us to parent our children in positive ways!She is refreshing and very easy to listen to and she is so relatable and real! Her knowledge and understanding of Childrens behaviour is amazing and I would encourage any parents or Proffessionals to do her courses. :)

As a Kindergarten educator I find Chrissie’s webinars inspiring, authentic, based on current research and filled with practical takeaways that you can implement immediately into your teaching and learning program to support all learners. Her presentations deepen your current understandings, are professionally presented and advocate for the positive relationships between children, families and educators.

This course is a MUST if you have children, mind or care for children, work with children or regularly interact with them. I am lucky enough to be in all of the above and this course has been such a magnificent self check for my partner and I.I work in special education as a teacher and have done so for the last 10 years. I wish this course was compulsory to all entering the education sector.Chrissie zones in on CONNECTION. She emphasises how crucial it is to build and maintain this part of your relationship with the child if you want to have success with changing any behaviour. She focuses on always finding ways to moves through meltdowns and difficult situations with POSITIVITY.Her course has given my partner and I so many practical and easy ways to help our children when they are struggling and dis-regulated. I will be taking these strategies into the classroom and love how simpler they are.The day after I completed a unit of the course an opportunity presented itself for me to try one of Chrissie’s strategies. My child went from screaming, yelling and kicking to hugging me and resting quietly on my shoulder.I loved the set up of the content where we could watch the videos in our own time together. It was so convenient as we (like so many) are so time poor.This course has been an incredible invest for our family and I cannot recommend it enough!

Chrissie is amazing! Highly recommend her courses. She is a wonderful resource that all parents should follow.

Chrissie was recently a key note speaker with Hobsons Bay Libraries, providing an engaging and knowledgeable presentation to library patrons, about building emotional literacy and resilience, using children's literature. She was so well-prepared and provided a wealth of information for parents and carers to take away with them. Attendees left glowing feedback. I would definitely recommend Chrissie as a key-note speaker and will certainly engage her expertise again in the future.

We recently completed the Calm Connected Kids course and thank goodness we did! We have challenges at home with our 6 year old in particular, which had amplified during lockdown. Lots of big emotions and we were often at a loss as to how to help her. Feeling overwhelmed with the often-conflicting advice from parenting books (and who has time to read them all!) we turned to Chrissie. We loved the short video format that meant we could watch and discuss together as we went along, and her simple and effective tips were easy to implement and made a difference in our household almost immediately. We still have our challenges, but we feel more equipped to deal with them, and we are all benefiting from a much more calm, positive and fun household. Thank you Chrissie!

I cannot recommend Chrissie highly enough. Her philosophy, approach and direction towards children and their upbringing is so refreshing and insightful. I love how she breaks concepts down for everyone to understand and apply them in our day to day life. I m so glad I came across her. We absolutely loved her webinar regarding intrinsic motivation. What we learned will help both my kids now and in long run. Both my daughters love her book LOVE YOUR BRAIN". My 4 year old has said things like ' I think my brain is tired and I need to take care of it by resting. We love you Chrissie"

Chrissie was a guest speaker for a professional development function for Maternal and Child Health Nurses. She tailored her presentation to the professionals present and was able to acknowledge our area of expertise while also introducing and re enforcing all her amazing knowledge about child development and behaviour. As a speaker Chrissie engaged really well in conversation and my team finished the session feeling inspired
