Permission to parent without the pressure.
Discover Honey House and our Restorative Family Movement. Let go of the worrying and the perfectionist thoughts that take up space in your head so you can make more space for family joy.
Modern parenting in the UK has become relentless.
About House House
Endless activities, social media perfection and the pressure to always get it ‘right’ leave parents exhausted, disconnected and doubting themselves. But research and centuries of global wisdom tell a different story.
For thousands of years, family-centric parenting created happier, more cooperative, and resilient families.
Meanwhile, the modern Western approach of over-scheduling, perfectionism parenting, and child-centric living has led to anxiety, burnout and family disconnect.
At Honey House, we’ve resurfacing the age-old concept of family-centric living to create a new parenting lifestyle approach that’ll solve our modern day parenting challenges.
‘Restorative Parenting’ is a nurturing new way to parent. One rooted in ‘burn out free parenting’ - that helps parents ditch the pressure, and wake up each day confident that they’re doing an amazing job, no matter how messy life gets.
Our IRL meet-ups communities and digital culture platform are helping parents turn this vision into a reality - and create a new normal where relaxed, confident, and content family life is the goal.
Because it’s time for a new parenting approach - one that is realistic, enjoyable and freeing. The status quo isn’t working.
This is the Restorative Family Movement. Let’s start parenting without perfection today.

About Honey House
At Honey House, we’re building a movement for parents who are done with burnout and perfectionism and are ready to start believing in themselves and loving their family life. We believe in a new way: restorative family living. It’s about helping parents find their own unique family rhythm, build a true team, and build their own parenting confidence too.
Restorative parenting isn’t about being calm all the time - or being an expert in play or a nutritionist. It’s about simplifying your every day, restoring your confidence and belief in yourself - to help you feel more joy and more family togetherness.
The Honey House Principles
Parental mental health is at an all time low and child anxiety is at an all time high. We’re here to change that.
Parents need less pressure. From Instagram, from health visitors, from family members. The facade of parenthood is creating unrealistic ideals and damaging parents’ morale.
Parents need more support. Not advice - support. That means re-building the village with actions not words. Neighbours delivering meals and friends supporting each other with childcare.
Parents need more confidence in their ability to parent. True, parenting comes without a rulebook but parents’ innate instincts are being stripped by the system, leaving parents confused and doubting themselves.
Systems need to change: flexible working, maternity leave, paternity leave, childcare costs, school and work hours incompatibility - but also culture needs to change too. Parent self-care must be seen as a non-negotiable, not a nice to have. Happy, grounded parents are the backbone to a happy, grounded family. Burnout benefits no one.
The culture of maternal guilt and maternal self-sacrifice must end.
Gentle parenting has had a damaging impact on our parenting culture. It’s been confused with permissive parenting (no boundaries) which is unhelpful for children - and can also leave parents feeling guilty if they discipline their children at all. A new parenting approach needs to emerge - one that combines the best intentions of gentle parenting with a more realistic, simple - and nurturing approach.
Parents and families are having early years joy stripped from them because of unnecessary pressure from health professionals, society and social media standards.
Parents go through a huge identity shift when they go from person to parent (or to a parent of 2, or a parent of 3) and this transition requires support. Parents can become lost in their transition and we’re here to help them learn to balance and find all parts of their new identity - both the person and the parent.
We’re helping parents swap perfection and pressure for presence and peace.
Who is Honey House for?
When you picture a parent after a year with Honey House, what’s different? How do they feel? What are they doing (or not doing)?
They beat themselves up less, they feel comfortable sharing their darkest (and lightest) thoughts, they know there's someone to listen to them always, they know they're not alone, they feel validated in their every thought, they move through challenging phases of parenting knowing that they're not doing anything wrong and that support / advice is there for them if they want it - but not if they don't. They’re confident in themselves and their parenting. They’re connected to their children - in love with their children! They’re relaxed and calm and soaking up the early years - knowing that they were present looking back 20 years from now.
Honey House is a revolution. To believe in yourself and resist the endless voices that are telling you how to parent - or what you're failing at is radical. From kids not eating well enough, fruit’s not organic, kids haven’t potty trained fast enough, kids not learning the ABC's fast enough, kids fussy, kids shy, kids naughty. It all feels so urgent and heavy - but actually it is mostly all normal. It does not need to be fixed - just ridden.
It's not about 'not shouting' or gentle parenting perfection. You are not a robot, you are not a child psychologist. You don't need a degree in play or child emotion or baby sleep. You need to do your best and be yourself. Follow your gut and don’t beat yourself up when things go wrong.
Above all LOVE. Let go of the worrying and the perfectionist thoughts that take up space in your head so you can make space for LOVE. Listen to them, stroke their hair, learn their likes and dislikes, laugh at their jokes, encourage them - but don't worry if you don't one day because you're on Vinted - that's ok too. Be confident and comfortable in your effort - and that space for LOVE in your own heart will open up more.
How can a parent love and laugh and sing and play and dance when they're so stressed about getting it 'right all the time?'
