Your child or teen has a meltdown. But instead of chaos, you both pause. Breathe. Connect.
They have the words to express what they feel—and you have the tools to support them.
That’s the power of the ELMA At Home Emotional Literacy Program.
This neuroscience-based program supports children aged 2 to teens—and the families who love them. In a world where stress, anxiety, and disconnection are on the rise, we offer a proactive, gentle, and evidence-based solution that brings emotional intelligence into the heart of your home.
“With about 50 per cent of mental health disorders beginning before the age of 14 years, prevention and early intervention are paramount if we want to reduce lifetime prevalence of mental health disorders and allow children to live their best possible lives.” — Murdoch Children’s Research Institute

🧠 Designed for ages 2 to teens (yes, really!)
🧠 Grounded in neuroscience and aligned with the Australian Early Years Framework, Australian Curriculum Standards of the Personal and Social Capability Continuum

🧠 Teaches a new language of emotions that strengthens the entire family system
Because when families learn emotional intelligence together, the ripple effects last a lifetime.
In a world that often feels too fast, too loud, and too disconnected, emotional regulation is no longer a luxury—it’s a survival skill.
Children who learn to understand, and manage their emotions early go on to build:
✔️ Healthier relationships
✔️ Stronger communication skills
✔️ More resilience during change or stress
✔️ Better mental health outcomes into adulthood
Your home is your child’s first classroom.
You’re their greatest teacher.
And now, you have the tools.
Let’s change the conversation around mental health—starting in your living room.
This is not an impersonal Facebook group of people vying for attention and answers.
We are a small tight-knit community of parents that care about our children's emotional development and education.
We share our expertise, experiences and get answers to your questions in our private online community.
