THE LIGHTHOUSE PLAN

Your roadmap to the tween years

Is your child in primary school? Then it’s the perfect time to establish yourself as the lighthouse in their life – that beacon of wisdom there to guide them as they learn to navigate the sometimes choppy waters of upper primary school and high school.

My Lighthouse Plan is designed to give parents of tweens two things: a roadmap and a toolkit.

THE ROADMAP: You get a roadmap to the tween years and I’m here to help you help your son or daughter navigate everything from first periods to first sleepover to first social media accounts to first crush.

I’ve done the leg-work for you and put all the best articles, books, videos and podcasts in one location on a variety of topics including friendships, confidence and resilience, mental health, conflict resolution and study habits!

THE TOOLKIT:  You also get 12 tools to put in your bonding toolkit. I’ll show you the simple things you can do to strengthen the bond between you and your tween.

I'm a big believer in laying a strong foundation of communication, support and openness when our kids are still tweens BEFORE they hit the teenage years. And that's what my Lighthouse Plan is all about. I’ll offer you tips on how to strengthen your bond with your child AND give you a roadmap to help you both navigate the wonderful, tricky, eye-opening years ahead.

Tricky Conversations

Do you think I’m fat?
How come I can’t have Instagram when all my friends are on it?
I am so tired of playing this sport. Can I quit the team?
When can I start wearing make-up?

Or maybe it’ll be more of a truth bomb she drops rather than a question. She reveals she's been spending all her lunch hours alone at school. Or that she’s being bullied. Or that she has a boyfriend. Or a girlfriend.

In that moment when your daughter comes to you for advice, what are you going to say? How exactly do you respond? How you handle this moment could determine whether she ever opens up to you again ...

These cheat sheets are designed to help you navigate life’s tricky moments with your tween daughter. When she throws you a curveball, these "cheat sheets" will show you how to catch it.
