Science-backed support to help you keep your cool, reduce stress, and build a calm, connected home.
Is your emotional reactivity causing you to worry about the impact it’s having on your child?
“I keep snapping at my kids even if I’m in therapy. They don’t deserve this kind of parent“
“I snap so quickly when my 6-year-old disrespects me and the entire thing escalates fast.“
“My partner withdraws during conflict, then I react. I worry our kids are absorbing all of it.
Your daily emotional reactivity with your family is draining you.
You and your kids are stuck in an emotional dysregulation cycle that looks like:
- Your kids are constantly testing your and pushing your limits
- You try to stay calm until you snap and yell at them
- You feel guilty because your kids deserve a better version of you
- You feel overwhelmed and alone in juggling the demands of parenting
- You and your partner are often on edge and easily get into arguments
You’ve taken all the parenting courses, you’ve been to therapy, yet you still snap so you wonder “What’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with my family?”.
Bring calm, connection and healthy emotional coping skills into your home.
The Reflective Parenting Program doesn’t just teach strategies, it rewires how you think, feel, and respond, so you stop parenting from survival mode and start leading your family with calm, clarity, and confidence.
Our program is rooted in 10 essential skills all parents need to transform their emotional bandwidth and confident support their child’s emotions:
-
Stop second guessing your parenting skills and confidently lead your child during their big emotions
-
Turn negative self-talk into the compassionate, safe and supportive voice you need to calm your nervous system
-
Engage in healthier conflict with your partner and feel good about modelling this for your kids
-
Break unhealthy emotional coping patterns in your home with patterns of snapping at each other or shutting down
When you don’t learn how to cope with your emotions, it impacts your child.
When you’re overwhelmed, your brain flips into survival mode. You can’t think clearly, you’re inpatient and deep breathing doesn’t work.
This is not a parenting problem. It’s a nervous-system problem. Yet, no one ever helps parents learn about their nervous system.
Research shows that high parental stress and emotion dysregulation in a home can lead to:
-
Children with higher emotional and behaviour problems
-
Increased risks of using harsh discipline on your kids
-
A negative impact on a child’s academic skills
-
Increased risk of mental health struggles
The good news? Your brain can be rewired and you can change the outcome for your child’s future.

Now is the time to break the cycle of emotional dysregulation in your family.
You’ve read the parenting books, listened to the podcasts, tried the parenting tips, maybe even gone to therapy, yet you’re still snapping, still overwhelmed and still stuck in the same dysregulation patterns.
Why?
Because information isn’t enough.
Your nervous system needs new skills and new patterns, not more parenting advice.
It’s time to learn the science-based tools that create real, lasting change for you, and for your child.
What Reflective Parents are saying
Are you ready to for these changes in your home?
✔ A calmer, more grounded version of yourself (no more spiralling)
✔ A home that feels connected, predictable, & safe (not chaotic)
✔ Better communication and faster repair with your partner
✔ Less exhaustion, more energy, and a stronger sense of alignment with the parent you want to be

Frequently asked questions
At Curious Neuron, we often receive questions about our Reflective Parent Club, and our mission in general.
Below, you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions we get.
Can you join for only 3 months? Can I do this more than once?
Curious Neuron is parent-centered, but we are not just another parenting advice hub. Our focus is on emotion regulation skills for both you and your child.
Yes! You can join for just 3 months or continue for as long as you’d like. We add new content every week. Because we provide tailored tools and adapt to your needs, you won’t receive the same content repeatedly—it will always evolve as your challenges change.
Is this for new or expecting parents?
This program is designed to support parents at any stage.
How much does it cost and why?
For just $99, you get 12 sessions over 3 months—that’s less than the cost of a single therapy session.
This isn’t a static program or a set of resold PDFs. You’ll meet directly with founder Cindy Hovington, who will tailor the program to your unique needs.
The program offers:
- personalized support from the Curious Neuron team
- direct access to world-leading parental well-being experts and best-selling authors through online monthly calls.
- access to workbooks, audio guides developed based on your unique challenges
- You’ll also join an engaging online community of parents to connect, learn, and grow.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all program—it’s tailored to your needs and challenges, helping you parent with confidence.
Why Is the Program 3 Months Long?
We recommend a minimum of 3 months to see a real impact on how you cope with emotions and stress, but you’re welcome to continue for as long as you find it valuable!
What is a Reflective Parent?
Our goal with the Reflective Parent Club is to help you develop the following skills:
- You have self-awareness.
- You can cope with uncomfortable emotions.
- You have cognitive flexibility (more resilience).
- You are aware of your triggers.
- You can communicate your needs and emotions clearly.
Why is it called the Reflective Parent Club?
The Reflective Parenting Club is named for a reason—because reflection is the key to growth.
Parenting isn’t about following a script or a set style; it’s about learning to think, adapt, and respond as challenges evolve.
Instead of chasing quick fixes, we offer you a supportive space where you can reflect on your emotions, identify triggers, and build awareness—so you can respond, not just react.
Based on the science of reflective functioning, we combine neuroscience, which is rooted in understanding your brain and nervous system, with psychology research to help you reflect on what causes you stress and how to manage it effectively.
How do I know if this is for me?
Every parent’s journey is unique, which is why we take a personalized approach. Before joining the Reflective Parent Club, you’ll have a one-on-one meeting with Dr. Cindy Hovington, PhD, founder of Curious Neuron.
This conversation helps us understand your challenges, goals, and needs to ensure the program is the right fit for you.
Whether you’re struggling with emotional regulation, navigating parenting stress, or simply looking for a more mindful approach, this program is designed to adapt to your journey—offering the tools, support, and community you need to grow.
Can I cancel my membership at any time?
Yes!
We offer a risk-free 7-day trial, allowing you to explore the program before committing.
If you decide it’s not the right fit, you can cancel within the trial period at no cost.
If you choose to continue, you will be charged $99 USD at the end of your 7-day trial, which covers the full 3-month program.
During your membership, you can request a refund or cancel any future payments at any time.
Are replays available for the weekly calls?
No, the weekly calls are not recorded to protect the privacy of the conversations. Our weekly meetings take place on Tuesdays at 12 p.m. ET (UTC/GMT -5 hours) and again at 8 p.m. ET.
How much time will I need to dedicate to this on a weekly basis?
Our weekly calls require about an hour, and the rest is up to you!
Outside of our calls, the Reflective Parent Club is a self-paced program, so you decide how much time to dedicate.
Generally, we recommend taking 5 minutes at the end of your day to reflect on your reactions to certain events or triggers.
You can incorporate any tools that work for you, whether it’s journaling or reviewing our PDF guides.
It’s less about the time you spend and more about the consistency of reflecting — something you can do during a walk, on the bus, or even while brushing your teeth!
What does CRM mean?
CRM stands for Content Relationship Management. Using a CRM platform gives everyone involved in your business a way to manage customer interactions to increase growth.
Is it really free to start?
Yes! You can opt to stay within the free tier for as long as you want to. It’s a great way to get a feel for the platform before deciding to upgrade to take advantage of the more advanced features.
Can I import data?
Yes! Getting your existing data in is easy. Simply export your existing customers to a .csv file and import them within a couple of clicks.
