By the end, you'll feel more confident in communicating with your teen in a way that fosters trust and respect.

Bonus Tip: This course is even more impactful when watched with your partner (co-parent or ex), as it helps you find common ground in your parenting journey.

Here's What You'll Get

1. Listening Tool

It's hard to get your teenager to open up to talk to you, sometimes it feels awkward and unnatural.

When we try to talk to our teenagers, we often only get grunts and groans in response. We feel unheard, and our teenager is tuned out.

This Listening tool makes it easy and natural for you to do, and you might even get an extra sentence or two from them as a result.

Over time, it builds steps towards connecting better with your teenager.

2. Mindfulness Tool

We all know that feeling. The one where our heart races, our blood pumps and we feel like we're about to lose it.

Kids learn more from what we do than what we say. Role modelling self-regulation, or recognising our mistakes, is crucial for raising resilient kids.

This Mindfulness tool will help you quickly regain your composure to handle situations with ease... and help you recover quicker if you do loose your cool.
3. Super Power Tool

Parenting a teenager when they're mostly in their own world is tough.

Sometimes, you can feel like you're walking on eggshells, trying not to say the wrong thing and set them off. You worry about them and wonder if they will make it through high school okay.

The SuperPower tool will help you empower your teenager, so they can navigate their own path.
