How live chat works
Log in securely with your email address at https://parents.actionforchildren.org.uk to start speaking to a parenting coach. If we recognise your address, we’ll send you a quick email to verify it’s you. You’ll also be able to see your chat history.
Ask your question in the chat box and one of our parenting coaches will reply as soon as they are free.
We’re here to talk to parents and carers in the UK:
Monday: 12:30pm - 7.30pm
Tuesday: 10:30am - 4:30pm
Wednesday: 9:30am - 4:30pm

Or leave a message and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
We can talk about anything that supports family life, caring for children or managing your own wellbeing. Some parents get in touch to chat about their day or talk about things they can’t tell anyone else.
Remember, we’re hard to shock. Between us, we’ve seen and heard every kind of parenting question, concern or worry – nothing fazes us.
