"I see my teen’s defiance and disrespect as development after attending your workshop.

And that has changed my exasperation and exhaustion into enthusiasm."

A mom who attended my workshop for the parents of teens at The Bishop Cotton Boys’ High School tells me.

Yes!! When you look at bad behaviour in the right light – you see an opportunity to participate in your teen’s development.

The friction you see is your child to grow flexibility.
Every argument enables your child to look at things in a different way and learn perspective-taking.

The pushback you see is your child trying to refine their problem-solving skills
Every resistance enables your child to plan differently.

The emotional intensity is your child discovering passion
When your teen feels strongly, they build their motivation muscle

These bad behaviour is not an obstacle – it is an opportunity for brain development 

And when a school has a principal with a deep understanding of the students and a vision for their development – parents are guided to see that.

It is such a privilege to be part of that vision.

I am extremely grateful for the opportunity.

On popular demand I am conducting a course for the parents of 8- to 18-year-olds soon. Please message me if you would like to empower yourself.
