Parenting is hard. Sometimes, we yell at the kids, smack them, or overreact. At the end of the day, we feel guilty, shameful, and we promise tomorrow will be different. But then, a new day brings a new set of challenges, and the cycle starts again. This 28-day challenge has helped more than 20,000 parents tame their temper.
“My relationship with my 9yo son
was deteriorating…”
I found The Parental Stress Centre at just the right time. My life had turned upside down and the relationship with my son (9yo at the time) was deteriorating rapidly, I was lost. Completing the Tame Your Temper course and having the on-going support of the Centre allowed me to find myself again and to stop the downward spiral.
“The best parenting decision
I have ever made”
Completing a course with the PSC was the best parenting decision I have ever made. Jackie offers her full support during the program and beyond. I have so much gratitude for Jackie and her incredible team at PSC – it’s changed our lives!

Do you feel like anger is dominating your relationship with your child?
“I can’t handle it anymore. I’m irrational, anxious, and depressed. One minute I’m happy. The next, I’m flying off the handle and falling apart. I feel so guilty – like I’m stuffing up my kids’ lives, and I hate myself for acting this way.”
If that sounded familiar, you’re not alone. Parenting is an emotional rollercoaster. We get you. We’ve been there, too.
Shame from overreactions
Guilt from yelling or smacking
Beating yourself up
Making the change isn’t easy. We’re here to help you:
Get the tools to notice when your thoughts or everyday situations are about to turn into you screaming. You’ll become aware of how common challenges trigger thoughts that become anger (and something you’ll regret later).
Retrain your mindset and break those automatic, negative thoughts around parenting (and life)! Train your brain to have a different automatic reaction – rather than wanting to throw the closest object to you.
Understand your child better. Jump into their shoes to understand the thoughts behind the behaviour. Then, learn how to work with your child, rather than against them.
Use our 5-step TRACK process to keep tracking along with your new found calm and cooperation with your child.
Daily bite-sized tools to tame your temper & help you react better.
The 28-Day Tame Your Temper Challenge is here to help you recognise what triggers outbursts, make sense of anger, and change. Create a relationship with your children that makes them want to cooperate with you – so you don’t have to repeat yourself a thousand times.
Daily Tools
Gamechangers from the get-go. Get daily 10 to 15-minute tools delivered to your phone for instant results each day of the 28-day challenge. They’re real tools that aren’t just going to tell you to breathe through it or walk away. We’ll work through the most common stressful parenting moments – when the idea of “calm” feels completely unachievable.
Daily Tools
Weekly Video
In-depth weekly videos that will help you make sense of why anger exists in your parenting and what to do about it. We’ll jump into the world of your child and understand what they may be thinking or feeling to behave the way they are. You’ll learn how to work with your child to get more cooperation.
All of the content is downloadable, too, so you can even listen on your phone if you don’t have time to sit down and watch!
Weekly Video
Ongoing Support
Along with the daily tools and weekly videos, the 28-day Tame Your Temper challenge comes with a Bonus Ebook: 28-Day Tame your Temper Parenting Challenge. You can refer back to it when you need a refresher. Get access to support from parents just like you in our private Facebook community too.
Ongoing Support
Sometimes it feels like we’re all alone and doing it wrong, like every other parent has it all together. Join our community and never feel alone or judged.
No more promises of a different tomorrow, only for it to happen again
Make the change for your family. Learn about anger and develop the right skills to Tame Your Temper and stop the late-night shame spiral. We give you the tools to build stronger, healthier, and happier relationships with your children.
WEEK 1
Understand your anger
Recognise thoughts that lead to anger and understand the story behind the emotion. Getting angry doesn’t make you a bad parent. You just need to understand where it comes from. You’ll learn how to become aware of the thoughts causing your anger and why you might continually go from zero to 100 in these frustrating moments.
WEEK 2
Shift your perspective
Take a proactive approach to the challenges of parenting. Week two sees us shift our perspective on these challenges and accept the reality of parenting. You’ll learn how to change your mindset and break that habit of negative thinking when it comes to parenting challenges!
WEEK 3
Understand your child
We understand you and your reactions now. So, let’s jump into your child’s world. What thoughts must make them behave this way? What dynamics exist in your family? And why? Together, we’ll get solutions-focused on your child’s behaviour. You’ll learn how to work with your child, and encourage them to work with you, too.
WEEK 4
Bring it all together
We’ll run you through how to practice our 5-step TRACK process, to keep you tracking along with your newfound calm. You’ll learn the fundamentals of the TRACK process and understand how it can be applied to all areas of your life – not just parenting.
It’s actually given me the tools to understand what my kids are doing, what they’re going through, what their mental abilities are, what their cognitive abilities are.”

Already tried these kinds of courses? Here’s why this one is different.
The 28-Day Tame Your Temper Challenge gives you real tools, real advice in a realistic and achievable schedule.
Designed to be flexible
We know it’s unrealistic for you to take time out for yourself, especially for 28 days in a row. You can do our course on your phone – and you can just listen rather than commit to sitting down and watching the content.
Delivered in bite-size pieces
Each day’s tool only takes 10 to 15 minutes and you’ll watch a weekly video that runs for 30 minutes to an hour. It’s less than three hours per week.
Evidence-based tools that are simple to understand
The Tame Your Temper program is backed by evidence-based tools and psychological principles. We know that can sound pretty overwhelming, though. Don’t worry, it’s easy to understand – we’ll walk you through it.
We’ve been in your shoes
This isn’t a preachy course to teach you how to be the perfect parent – firstly, the perfect parent doesn’t exist. We’ve been in your shoes. We’ve felt that anger and frustration, but we learned how to overcome it. Now, we’re sharing how with you.
Without this I think I’d still be angry. I’d still be an angry parent. The quality time with them now is much better. They’ve got a much better mother. A much happier household.”

“Jackie's programs have been a game changer”
The PSC has brought something to my family’s life that I can’t even begin to explain. There is no thankyou in the world big enough to say how grateful I am to Jackie and her team. The PSC’s advice and strategies are realistic and their ongoing support is invaluable. Jackie’s programs have been a real game changer for me! Thanks PSC!

Thanks so much Jackie. This has been transformational! I’ve really enjoyed your realistic, down to earth approach and candid videos, you deliver all this info in a way that people can really relate to. My mind has been blown repeatedly. I’m proud of the change I can feel in myself, and excited for the changes I can begin to see in my kids (and my husband)! Well done for creating such an amazing program. I truly believe you are doing such a wonderful thing for parents of future generations!!
The tools Jackie shares have been priceless.
With the roadmap Jackie has given me, I feel equipped to appropriately address whatever gets thrown my way. The tools Jackie shares have been priceless and are grounded in sound science. I would highly recommend this program to any parent wishing for deeper connection with and understanding of their child and a smoother, more joy-filled existence.
“It's been totally worth it for me.”
“The 28 day tame your temper challenge is definitely a challenge but it’s been totally worth it for me. There are no failures or ridicule, only Jackie’s awesome information and suggestions. A great tool for anyone whose goal is to become scream free.”
“ It was life changing…for me and future generations.”

“My life had turned upside down...”
I found The Parental Stress Centre at just the right time. My life had turned upside down and the relationship with my son (9yo at the time) was deteriorating rapidly, I was lost.
Completing the Tame Your Temper course and having the on-going support of the Centre allowed me to find myself again and to stop the downward spiral.
Jackie's knowledge and support gave me the confidence to 'get back on the horse' again and from that time onwards I have been a better parent, not perfect, but so much stronger and confident which allowed my son and I to move forward in a calm and positive way.

“I felt stressed, angry and unappreciated in my life.”
I found the Parental Stress Centre through Facebook at a time where I felt stressed, angry and unappreciated in my life.
Feeling like I had nothing to lose, I initially took on the 28 Day Tame Your Temper challenge, which completely changed my view of my children and my family. This inspired me to complete further courses with PSC over the following months and I can feel and see the benefits in my life every day. I am closer to my children and my husband, and feel like I can cope with life even when it doesn't go to plan.
The range of support from Jackie and the PSC was fantastic, from emails and live chats to Facebook groups and messenger. Having completed the courses I still feel able to discuss things with other past participants via Facebook when I'm having a challenging day, and it's great to know I'm not alone.
I'm very grateful to Jackie and the PSC for the huge improvement in my life and my relationship. I can't speak highly enough of their work.'

“My thinking is changing...”
“I finally feel safe, from myself and my emotions. My thinking is changing, and I can respond to everyday stressors from a place that is calm and peaceful. Chaos and angst still happens, but it no longer knocks me off my feet. My kids feel safer and more secure.”

“Has totally changed the way we look at parenting...”
“Wonderful program run by an actual mum, not just a doctor in a lab coat. Has totally changed the way my husband and I look at parenting and has given us a lot to reflect on and the drive to make parenting an enjoyable experience instead of the yelling screaming drag it felt like it was. Enjoying an instant change in our children and even they have commented that they like the new mum better! A big winner in my book!”
