What our parents and carers say

Sibling Rivalry & Trauma

Simple, straightforward and PACE based advice. All of the scenarios were so relatable. Resources are brilliant and will be so useful, without being tricky or expensive to source. I love the modelled 'script' approach which provides useful phrases when things escalate.
Sue

Podcast: Foster Children & Lying

It opened my eyes to Therapeutic parenting and opened my mind to PACE.
Nicola

Creating Consequences That Teach, Not Punish

Very good course! You put across the point about how to achieve the natural way to achieve the consequence in a child friendly way.

I liked the three R’s and the way to put it into a table. This shows how well it can work with the young person.

Creating Consequences That Teach, Not Punish

This has helped me a lot to understand my children and what choices I can offer. The course is fantastic!
Katie

Shame in Traumatised Children

We have received so much training in PACE over our fostering career but this is the first course which has directly linked shame as the primary emotion driving most of our three girls’ behaviours so thank you for giving such a clear, concise explanation.
Sue

Toxic Masculinity and the Manosphere

Great course and good insight into what children and young people have to navigate in a modern online world on a daily basis.

Attachment & Children in Care

Another great short course that opens your eyes into attachment and how things may happen and how children may behave or respond

Navigating Christmas with Foster Kids

This training offers lots of tips I can put into practice.

Let Us Be Your Guide

Welcome to Pink Pearl Parent Academy. As foster carers with first-hand experience navigating the challenges of caring for children with complex behaviours, we understand that sometimes a different parenting approach is needed. Children with Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) often need more than typical parenting strategies to feel safe and heal from trauma.

After completing training courses that offered insight but lacked immediate, practical solutions, we decided to make a change. With Sebastian's 25 years of expertise in designing engaging training courses, we decided to launch our online academy.

Our courses provide practical steps you can implement right away, perfect for parents, carers, social workers, case workers, teachers and other professionals who are working to help nurture children. Our experience as foster carers allows us to bring additional insight around the trauma children may have experienced. 

First-hand Foster Care Experience

Whether you're a foster carer, parent, social worker, or other professional, our first-hand experience bridges the gap between theory and the real-world challenges of parenting children with difficult behaviours.

Peer reviewed by a therapist and a social worker

When needed, we reach out to have our courses peer reviewed by a Registered Social Worker and a Clinical Psychotherapist to make them the best they can be. 

Immediate, Practical Solutions

All of our courses are between 10 and 60 minutes.

You will come away with things you can try straight away.

Many of our courses have resources you can download and use for free.

Continuous Professional Development (CPD)

With Sebastian's 25 years of experience designing training for major banks, we know what great learning looks like.

All our courses come with a downloadable certificate to celebrate your progress and meet any CPD requirements you may have.

Teamwork makes the dream work

We don't claim to be experts in therapeutic parenting. We are two foster carers with lived experience of caring for children who have experienced trauma. We also have expertise in designing learning courses.

We never talk about our children specifically. Their stories are their own. 

Our courses make use of the latest innovations. For example, we use AI to lend its voice to some of our audio and video content. 

We draw upon our experience to help you deal with challenging situations you may come across when nurturing children in your care.
