Protecting Our Kids in a Hyperconnected World: A Group for Building Connection, Awareness & Boundaries
Parenting in the digital age can feel overwhelming. From TikTok trends to endless screen time battles, many parents feel they’re constantly one step behind, and often reacting instead of confidently guiding their children.
At Tapestry Counselling, we see parents doing their best to keep kids safe, support their mental health, and prepare them for a fast-changing world.
But that doesn’t mean it’s easy.
How do you set healthy boundaries without falling into power struggles?
How do you support your child’s growing independence — even when it feels like you’re losing connection?
How can everyday conflicts become opportunities for deeper understanding, instead of division?
And most importantly: how do you move from fear-based parenting to something more grounded, confident, and connected?

Insights from Tapestry Counselling on How Parents Can Set Boundaries Without Fear
What to Expect
This 6-week, in-person group offers practical tools, expert guidance, and a supportive community. It’s designed to be engaging, interactive, and practical, helping you integrate learning with support from professionals and peers.
Considerations for neurodivergent families will be integrated throughout the program, with attention to different learning styles, sensory needs, and communication approaches to ensure that all parents/caregivers feel seen, supported, and empowered.
Together, we’ll explore how to:
Set boundaries collaboratively and work through conflicts as opportunities for connection
Strengthen your relationship as your child seeks more independence
Build confidence navigating today’s online challenges
Understanding Risks and Building Strengths
The digital world brings real risks, from inappropriate content to online bullying and privacy concerns. We help you identify warning signs, while focusing on protective factors like secure attachment, open communication, and emotional regulation that build resilience.
Led by Olivia Herron, Registered Clinical Counsellor, and Devony Baugh, Co-founder of Tapestry Counselling, the program is designed for parents of kids aged 9-13 (including neurodiverse children).
This group welcomes all caregivers, regardless of family structure or how long you've been in your caregiving role. If you're supporting a child and want to better understand their emotional needs (and your own), you belong here.

Why Attend?
This isn’t about mastering every app or trend, it’s about building lasting trust and resilience. As Olivia explains:
“Parents often feel overwhelmed by how fast things change online. The key isn’t knowing every app; it’s learning evidence-based strategies to support your child as they navigate the digital world.”
