Parenting Support Group in Cornelius, NC: Strengthen Your Relationship With Your Child
Parenting is one of the most meaningful, and challenging, roles we take on in life. Even in the most loving families, the parent-child relationship can become strained by stress, behavior challenges, communication breakdowns, or ongoing conflict. When parenting starts to feel overwhelming, seeking extra support isn’t a sign of failure; it’s a proactive step toward connection, confidence, and growth.
At Davidson Family Therapy, our Parenting Support Group offers parents a safe, supportive environment to learn practical tools, gain insight into child development, and strengthen the bond with their children. This 8-week parenting support group, beginning February 12, is designed to help parents feel empowered, grounded, and better equipped to navigate everyday challenges with confidence.
What Is a Parenting Support Group?
A parenting support group brings parents together to learn, share experiences, and develop skills that improve family dynamics. Unlike one-size-fits-all parenting advice found online, a therapist-led parenting support group provides evidence-based strategies grounded in child development, attachment theory, and neuroscience.
At Davidson Family Therapy, our parenting support group is relationship-based, meaning the focus is not just on managing behavior but on strengthening the emotional connection between parent and child. Research consistently shows that secure, trusting relationships are the foundation for emotional regulation, cooperation, and long-term mental health.
Why Join a Parenting Support Group?
Many parents seek out a parenting support group when family life begins to feel centered around conflict, power struggles, or emotional distance. This group helps parents “reset” patterns that no longer serve their family and replace them with healthier, more effective approaches.

A Relationship-Based Approach to Discipline
One of the most common reasons parents seek a parenting support group is difficulty with discipline. Many parents worry that boundaries or consequences will damage their relationship with their child.
At Davidson Family Therapy, we believe discipline is not complete until the relationship is repaired and strengthened. This approach helps parents:
Set clear, healthy boundaries
Repair emotional ruptures
Reduce shame-based discipline
Foster mutual respect and trust
When parents and children feel connected rather than opposed, long-lasting change becomes possible.

Want to improve communication with their child
Are seeking connection-focused discipline strategies
Want tools grounded in child development and neuroscience

Frequently Asked Questions About Parenting Support Groups
What is the difference between a parenting class and a parenting support group?
A parenting support group is interactive and therapist-led, offering personalized guidance, group discussion, and emotional support. Parenting classes are often lecture-based and less individualized.
Is this parenting support group right if my child has behavioral challenges?
Yes. This group is especially helpful for parents navigating behavioral, emotional, or relational challenges and focuses on understanding the root causes—not just the behavior.
Do I need to attend all 8 sessions?
Yes. The group is designed as an 8-week program, with each session building on the previous one to support lasting change.
Is this parenting support group only for parents in Cornelius, NC?
No. While the group is based in Cornelius, parents from Davidson, Huntersville, Mooresville, and the greater Lake Norman area are encouraged to join. Virtual options are also available.
Will this parenting support group tell me exactly how to parent?
No. The goal is not to prescribe rigid rules, but to help you understand your child’s needs and develop strategies that align with your family’s values.
