About
This didn't start with a theory. It started with my own moments falling apart.
I'm Elthea, founder of Little Resilience Co.
I started looking at parenting differently when I realised something simple: it wasn't just what my child was doing. It was what was happening in me in the first few seconds of the hard moment. The speed of it. The intensity. How quickly it took over before my best parenting words were available.
Most parents don't need more scripts. They need support for the first few seconds of the hard moment, when their body reacts before their thinking catches up.
That's where most parenting advice misses the mark. It tells you what to say. But if your body has already moved, no script will land the way you want it to. Your child does not hear your words first. They feel your state first.
That is why I built Little Resilience Co. Not to give parents more information. To help them catch what happens in the first few seconds of the hard moment, so they can choose what happens next.
Coffee in hand and practising the Tiny Reset between hard moments.
What I'm trained in
My work is grounded in emotional intelligence training through Six Seconds, body-first parenting practice, and real-life experience as a parent in the early years.
I bring both the science and the lived experience. I've sat on the kitchen floor at 5pm, overwhelmed, wondering what was wrong with me. I've also studied why our bodies respond the way they do under pressure, and how to work with that instead of against it.

What I believe
Children do not need perfect parents.
Parents need support inside the moment, not shame after it.
Behaviour is information, but so is the parent's reaction.
The adult's state shapes what the child can access.
Repair matters because disconnection happens in real homes.
What this is not
Not therapy
Not diagnosis
Not scripts for perfect parenting
Not a promise to stop meltdowns
This is coaching support for parents of young children (ages 1 to 4). If you're looking for therapy or mental health treatment, this isn't that. If you're looking for body-first tools to help you catch the hard moment earlier, lower the intensity, and choose a steadier next move, explore the Tiny Reset or work with me.
