Ben J. Hatton is the founder of The Calm Parent Co and a devoted single dad to two young daughters.

His core belief is simple: even in life’s hardest chapters, calm and connection are always possible.

With over a decade of professional experience as a child social worker, Ben has supported countless families through developmental, behavioural, and emotional challenges — from toddler tantrums to childhood anxiety, trauma, separation struggles, and parent–child relationship breakdowns. His expertise extends far beyond theory; Ben has lived the reality of parenting through difficulty.

Following a painful divorce and the process of rebuilding himself — as a father, as a man, and as a human being — Ben shifted his mission from simply supporting families… to helping parents heal and thrive too. Because when adults grow, children grow.

Today, his writing and coaching centre on two core pillars:

🔹 Supporting Children

Understanding behaviour, building emotional resilience, strengthening parent–child bonds, and creating a calm, connected family environment.

🔹 Empowering Adults

Guidance on healing after heartbreak, self-worth, discipline, belief, focus, rebuilding confidence, and using health & fitness as the foundation for mental and emotional strength.

Ben writes with honesty and emotional depth — blending professional insight with lived experience. His work is free of shame, judgement, or perfectionism. Instead, it offers real-world strategies for real families and real people, especially those navigating tough seasons.

Whether teaching tools for toddler behaviour or sharing lessons from rebuilding his life from the ground up, Ben’s message remains the same:

Stronger parents build stronger children — and every family deserves the tools to succeed.
