La Boussole des Parents

La Boussole des Parents is a French parenting resource designed to help families find reliable information and decide what steps to take when they have concerns about a child. Its website brings together 27 in-depth guidance dossiers, organized around children’s ages and common topics such as sleep, development, learning, emotions, and family relationships. A free orientation questionnaire uses parents’ answers to recommend relevant information, discussion spaces, and, where appropriate, the type of professional who may help.

The platform also offers 17 moderated discussion salons where parents can share experiences, along with an online directory and map of practitioners searchable by profession, approach, concern, age, and location. Listed practitioners provide credentials and supporting documents for review. The directory includes professionals such as psychologists, child psychiatrists, speech therapists, and osteopaths.

Founded by Murielle and Gilles Gremillon, La Boussole emphasizes clear, carefully reviewed information and practical next steps rather than miracle solutions. Dossiers and salon reading are free; a paid Boussole+ subscription adds personal tracking and the ability to participate in discussions.
