WEBINAR 1: Teen boy communication that really works
This event ran live on Thursday 25th February...replay now available.
Have you found communication a challenge since your son hit adolescence? You are not alone if your formerly sweet boy is now communicating with you in monosyllabic grunts and everything you say seems to annoy or upset him enormously. In this webinar, Maggie explains what's going in our teen boys' brains that makes them feel more sensitive, critical of themselves and others, and volatile. She explains how parents and people who work with teen boys can use warm, caring, empowering communication with the lads in their lives – communication that helps them cross the bridge to manhood to a place where they feel worthwhile and engaged in respectful relationships.
Maggie explores ways to:
» communicate effectively
» offer feedback without hurting your son's
feelings
» avoid arguing
» help your son solve problems for himself
» get teen boys to listen
» let your son know you’re really hearing him &
he matters.
Includes bonus freebies: Taking the High Road ebook and Cosmos Sound Bath audio track.
WEBINAR 2: 'Unsticking' an unmotivated teen boy
This event ran live on Tuesday 23rd March...replay now available.
It's very common (but also pretty exasperating) for tween and teen boys to become unmotivated about things like schoolwork, tidying up after themselves or changing their clothes. While these things might matter to parents and teachers, there are many biological, neurological, physical, hormonal and psychological changes that make motivation challenging for the average adolescent boy. While we hope the situation is temporary, it can become a permanent mindset so in this webinar Maggie shares some practical things we can do (and things we should avoid) at home and at school to 'unstick' a son whose motivation is stuck. This will be helpful whether you have a 14-year-old who you just can't understand or an 18-year-old you can't get off your couch.
This webinar will explore:
» what motivates boys to do well (and it isn't
stickers and trophies!)
» how to build a boy's autonomy
» the power of positive noticing
» the three keys to motivation
» why school often demotivates boys (especially
middle school)
» supporting boys at school & re-engaging
reluctant boys
Includes bonus giveaways: Creating Success and Dare to Dream creative visualisation audios plus Maggie's Chill'n Skills ebook.

WEBINAR 3: Helping teen boys manage anger and failure
This event ran live on Thursday 22nd April... watch the replay whenever suits you.
We all get angry from time to time, it's a normal human emotion. However, because of what's happening in their brains and bodies – and because of the deep conditioning that anger is a more acceptable emotion for males than, say, sadness – teen boys can particularly struggle with their anger. For those of us living or working with teen boys, it can be challenging to respond calmly and compassionately when faced with an adolescent's immature, explosive reaction contained within an often-man-sized body. In this webinar, Maggie looks at why anger is not the problem, more a symptom of a deeper concern. She explores why teen boys' poor choices, mistakes and failures often lead to anger and despair – and how we can better respond to help our boys cope and recover from muck up moments.
Maggie will unpack:
» ways to coach our teen boys to better manage
their anger and understand the feelings under it
» tips for helping boys physically diffuse their
feelings
» why failure & poor choices often trigger 'big
ugly feelings'
» dismantling the old man code to teach the power
of vulnerability
» Reframing failure and loss
» how to respond when your son makes a poor choice
» exploring resilience and recovering from
setbacks.
Includes bonus giveaways: Relax and Escape and Secret Mountain audio relaxation tracks plus 'A Dog's Life Wisdoms' ebook.
