Here is your weekly Insights Article Time Is Love: Why Being Present Matters More Than Ever Written by Dr Justin Coulson
In the whirlwind of school runs, work meetings, laundry piles, and life’s endless to-do lists, it’s easy for family time to fall to the bottom of our priorities. We’re “there” with our children, but are we truly with them? One powerful truth from our family’s journey—and from years of research and real-world parenting—is this: To our kids, love is spelled T-I-M-E.
Live Webinars

Upcoming live webinar
Wednesday 20 August, 2025 @ 7pm AEST Anxious: Helping Your Child Navigate a World of Worry
It’s heartbreaking to see our kids struggling with anxiety. The statistics paint a stark picture: anxiety disorders are on the rise, affecting approximately one in seven primary school children and one in four adolescents. We see our kids burdened by fears and worries, their confidence fading, and sometimes even experiencing panic attacks. As parents, we desperately want to help but often feel lost or unsure of what to do.
Anxious: Helping Your Child Navigate a World of Worry offers a lifeline. In this presentation, Dr Justin Coulson will unpack what anxiety looks like in children and provide you with simple, practical strategies that are both clinically proven and easy to implement at home. Empower yourself with the knowledge and tools to support your child’s emotional wellbeing and help them build resilience in the face of anxiety. PERSONAL ACCESS Individual Sessions $49 each
