When it hits, it's hard to think straight
- You react first and regret it later
- Every question gets "fine" or "whatever"
- A small chat turns into a fight in seconds
- You end up feeling like the bad guy
It's not you. In the heat of the moment, both your brains are under stress. You just need a plan for those few seconds.
3 Steps to Talk So Your Teen Actually Listens
A short video class built around three steps: Pause, Check in, Discover their superpower.
It's the part of our approach you can use tonight, before you learn the whole toolkit.
WHAT CHANGES FOR YOU
Stay steady, then steer the conversation somewhere better
Pause instead of react
You'll have a way to catch yourself before the words come out, even when it gets tough.
Find what's really going on
You'll give you both the time and space to discover what's underneath the attitude.
Lead with their strengths
When you shine a light on what they're good at, the way forward gets a bit easier to find.
Pivot away from the argument
You'll know how to turn a moment that's heading for a fight into one that goes somewhere.
Feel like their parent, not their opponent
More talking, less bracing for the next blow-up, and a teen who's more likely to come back to you.
Ready for a plan for those heated moments?
Twenty minutes tonight, and you'll walk into the next one with three steps in your back pocket.

What parents tell us
A laugh over pizza
“I honestly didn't think something so simple would work. But the first time I flipped his one-word answer, he actually paused and kept talking. For the first time in months, we actually had a laugh over pizza.”
Nadine
Parent
He felt heard
“My son told me the way Maryanne and I talk to him should be taught to parents everywhere. He said he felt heard, and that he learnt from his mistakes.”
Selena
Parent and co-founder
The tools the world needs
“I think this is awesome! Keep up the great work. The world needs this understanding and the tools more than ever.”

A NOTE FROM US
Hi, we're Selena and Maryanne
Maryanne is a life coach and former primary school teacher. Selena learnt these tools from Maryanne and has used them raising her boys for six years, doubting herself plenty along the way.
We made this class because in the moment, most parents don't need more theory. They need to know what to do in the next ten seconds.
