Emotion-Wise Parenting
Because parenting isn’t about perfection — it’s about showing up differently when it matters most.
You’ve read the books. Tried the charts. Taken the deep breaths.
And still — nothing seems to stick.
That’s because parenting isn’t just about managing behaviour. It’s about understanding the emotions driving it.
Emotion Wise Parenting is a 10-week online course that helps you build emotional connection, regulate in hard moments, and support your child through big feelings — without yelling, shame, or quick fixes.
No pressure. No perfect-parent expectations. Just short, supportive modules you can dip into anytime — at your pace, in your way.

What is Covered
MODULE 1
WELL-BEING: Parenting is demanding and chaotic and having the capacity to cope, means we need to have some fuel in the tank. This module considers the Māori health and well-being model, Te Whare Tapa Wha, to help us identify how and what we can do to improve our own well-being.
MODULE 2
CALM: This module introduces the W3C model and is focused on understanding yours and your children’s brain, emotions and behaviours, what thier needs are during big emotions and giving you some strategies to find your calm in those moments. Through regulating our own emotions we are setting a strong foundation for supporting our children’s own emotional development.
MODULE 3
CONNECTION: Building strong relationships with your children is a key protective factor in building resilience. This module explores what connection is, how to build strong relationships with kids and how to connect when our kids are having big emotions. Connection before correction is a key concept we unpack.
MODULE 4
COMMUNICATION: When parents and children are regulated they can then communicate much more effectively. This module unpacks a number of communication strategies that you can hold in your back pocket to pull out when needed. We also look at our language and how to set limits and maintain connection. Role modelling good healthy communication techniques will serve our children well in their future.
MODULE 5 (BONUS)
RESILIENCE: Here we unpack the research on resilience and provide mums with some practical ways of building resilience in their children through concepts like mastery, problem-solving skills, time and space and ideas for introducing new experiences and challenges to your children.
MODULE 6 (BONUS)
SCREENS: Addressing the topic of screens and technology, this module examines the research around screen time for kids, and the impact of the content consumed. Screens are here to stay so this module is about awareness, education, finding a healthy balance with screen time, and fostering open communication about safety and online behaviour.

About Me
I’m Celia Hogan — education specialist, parenting coach, and long-time champion of connection, nature, and play.
With over 25 years in the education and outdoor sectors, I’ve walked alongside thousands of families and seen just how overwhelming modern parenting can be — especially when your child doesn’t quite fit into the box.
As a neurodivergent mum (Autism + ADHD) raising a neurodivergent child, I understand the daily juggle of overstimulation, big emotions (ours and theirs), and the constant push to “keep it together” when it feels like everything’s falling apart.
I’m especially passionate about helping parents build playful, connected relationships with their kids — and feel confident advocating for them in systems that don’t always understand how they tick. I’ve got a soft spot for the loud ones, the wrigglers, the big-feelers — the beautifully complex kids often labelled as “too much.” They’re not. They just need someone in their corner. So do you.
With my husband, I’m a good-enough parent to two spirited kids. We love adventuring in nature, embracing the messy moments, and collecting memories along the way.
My work is all about helping parents feel less alone, more empowered, and way more supported — especially when parenting feels hard.

What People Say
Truly amazing course with such real life content and so many ah-ha moments. I love how the course makes you think about not only your parenting but yourself as a person and has helped me to make positive changes to how I prioritise myself which has had an amazing effect on how I parent and interact with my family and friends as a whole. Understanding emotions changed everything. I would highly highly recommend this course to all busy mums. The sessions are short and easy to fit into daily life and there is support available throughout the course.
Celia, you have a wealth of knowledge. I have hugely benefited from this course and I highly recommend it to any parent or teacher wanting to improve/better themselves for their family and or work. It has been helpful to me not only as a parent, but as a teacher aswell. All the modules are well put together and go deep into who we are, how we think and what we do. Before doing this course, I was a stressed out/ overwhelmed mumma. After doing this course, I find I am alot calmer, less stressed/overwhelmed, can think about things more clearly, look out for my wellbeing as well as others and just have a more positive outlook on life. Absolutely fantastic course!
