Course for parents of tweens / teens

The teenage years can be a minefield. As parents, we need to learn to be a boundary, not a bulldozer. Our course begins by strengthening your connection with your tween/teen, and their connection to the values you want to foster. It addresses the critically important area of emotional regulation (for you and them) and provides skills for you to reframe the rules as your child moves toward independence.

Modern neuroscience offers brand new insights into why tweens and teens behave as they do. Our course uses this research coupled with cutting edge advice on behavioural change and human motivation to help you guide your adolescent through these highly formative years.

The course, run via Zoom, is very interactive. We use videos, exercises and a substantial worksheet for each class to enhance your learning. Students then bring their questions about applying the skills to kick off each session. You are also given homework filled with exercises to bring the skills alive where you need them, at home with your budding adults!

We will be running at least one Autumn course for parents of Tweens/Teens.  Most likely Tuesdays 7:30 am – 9:00pm, UK time.

  • 24 Sept., 1, 8 and 15 October
  • 2-week half term break
  • 5 November

Prices: £350 (First time Student) or £200 (Returning Student)

What our clients say

“The real aha moment was when this practical (backed by evidence-led rationale) advice elicited such a different behaviour in my children. Like putting a foot in a door to prevent it closing, you slowly crack open the mutual universe of self-respect, confidence, thoughtfulness and motivation. It is enormously powerful, life affirming and transformational. ”

Susan

Mother of 13-year-old boy, and two younger boys. London

“The course gave me habits of responses, a tool kit to react better to all situations that can come up while bringing up teenagers. Mostly, also, it gave me peace of mind as Sue always had amazing suggestions and my challenges felt much easier to face.”

“You have no idea how helpful these past few weeks have been for me. There are these moments of pure bliss I am having with my kids. I mean – unreal!!! I am no longer ‘sweating the small things’. You are miracle workers!”

Dalit H.

Mother to an 11 year old boy, and younger daughter. London

“The positive, real and non-judgemental attitude of both Raphaelle and Sue is palpable, and refreshing. This lean in approach encourages us to improve as a parent, unafraid of making mistakes.”

Kim

Mother of 14, 13, 10 and 6 year olds. New York City

“The course has had a very big impact on me; particularly on changing my mindset to observe everything that is going right rather than wrong. Thank you so much for sharing your life experience with us. This is a real gift. I will try to implement the learning in my day to day, not just with the children but in all my relationships.”
