Parent guidance and family support

Supporting children often means supporting parents too. Peekaboo offers professional parent guidance and family support designed to help families better understand their child’s emotional, behavioural, or developmental needs.

Our therapists work closely with parents to provide practical strategies, reassurance, and professional guidance. Support is available in English and Spanish and is always tailored to each family’s situation, parenting style, and goals.

​Parent guidance can be helpful whether your child is already receiving therapy or if you are simply looking for professional support and clarity.

FAQ

Do both parents need to attend sessions?

Not necessarily. Many families choose for one parent to attend, while others prefer both parents to participate. We adapt sessions to what feels most helpful and practical for each family.

Can parent guidance be combined with child therapy?

Yes. Parent guidance is often used alongside child therapy or developmental support. It helps parents reinforce strategies at home and ensures consistency in how children are supported across environments.

How often do sessions take place?

This depends on family needs. Some parents benefit from short term guidance sessions, while others prefer ongoing support. Frequency is always flexible.

Can sessions take place online?

Yes. Parent guidance can take place in person or online. Many families choose online sessions for convenience and flexibility, especially when schedules are busy.

Is parent guidance only for families with diagnosed conditions?

No. Parent guidance is suitable for any family looking for professional support, reassurance, or practical parenting strategies. A formal diagnosis is not required.

Can support help with school related challenges?

Yes. Parent guidance can help parents support children with school transitions, academic stress, behavioural challenges, or communication with schools. When helpful and with parental consent, we can collaborate with teachers or school support teams.
