You can tell the moment your child walks in the door.

You ask how school was. They say "fine." But it isn't fine.

Maybe it's the new kid in their friend group who keeps making jokes about their hair. Maybe it's the comments from their bestie about their clothes, their height, the way they answered a question in class or their love of Taylor Swift. Maybe it's a sibling who knows exactly which buttons to press. Maybe it's online - group chats, DMs, screenshots making the rounds.

You've tried all the things parents try.

"Just ignore them."

"They're only doing it because they're jealous of you."

"Tell them to stop.."

And it hasn't worked.

So you're left feeling helpless and every Sunday night is all about your child dreading school on Monday.

Here's the thing most parents don’t realise...

We can teach kids (and teens and adults) the specific skills to handle teasing.

That's what this webinar is all about.

What You'll Learn:

In just 30 minutes, your child will discover:

The 5 tools that shut teasing down without escalating it

The crucial difference between teasing and bullying

The "Bored Face" technique

What to say when the teaser is inside the friend group

including the five exact one-liners your kid can use in the moment without sounding rehearsed

The "secret weapon" sentence

to use when you need to have a direct conversation with a friend who's gone too far (and the ONE rule about how to deliver it that will save the friendship)

When teasing crosses into something more serious

The red flags every kid should know that mean it's time to involve a teacher or parent

The hard truth about physical "teasing"

(shoving, hair-ruffling, picking kids up) that nobody is saying loudly enough - and what your child needs to do the second it happens

Sign me up!

This webinar is for you if...

Your child is being teased at school and "just ignore it" isn't working

You're worried about them but you don't want to overreact

You want to give them real tools, not just hugs

Your child is heading into Year 5, 6, 7 or 8 and you can see the social dynamics getting more complicated (yikes)

A friend (or former friend) has started making "jokes" that are wearing them down

You want them walking into school feeling confident, not anxious

This webinar is NOT for you if...

You're looking for advice on bullying (this webinar is about teasing - if your child is being bullied, I’ll talk about how to recognise the difference and what to do, but the strategies in this webinar are for teasing and mean behaviour specifically)

You want a 3-hour deep-dive - this is a tight, action-packed 30 minutes designed to give you and your kid something usable, fast

You want your child to win every comeback war. I hear you, but this isn't about humiliating other kids, it's about building confidence

What parents say about Bec's Webinars

Just watched the replay with my 10 year old daughter. It was fantastic, thank you. We had a great discussion throughout using examples she has experienced with friends so far.

Thank you Rebecca Sparrow we also enjoyed the webinar. My daughter has been away from school for 18 months due to some major medical reasons, and is due to go back next week. It goes without saying she is extremely nervous to re-connect with old friends & make new ones. Your webinar has boosted her confidence that she can do it, so thank you!

This was a great webinar thanks so much Rebecca Sparrow ,my 10 yr old and I got a lot out of it.

We really enjoyed this too, thank you, it was brilliant for my daughter who is about to start high school. I loved the way you gave lots of relevant examples. Beforehand, she said she didn’t need it as she’s good at making friends, but afterwards admitted it was really useful. Even caught my hubby listening in for tips

My eight year old came home yesterday and said she used one of your strategies to shut down gossip! I was so psyched for her , she felt so empowered! Thanks Bec!

My almost 12 year old daughter attended your webinar this morning and this is what she texted me:

"That webinar was the most useful and informing thing ever! Thank you so much for booking me in. I have learnt so much from just 20 minutes and I'm not as scared to go into high school anymore. Thank you mum

" Thank you for making XXX feel this way.

My daughter watched too, after ending the year last year by walking away from her existing friend group because she hated the fights. She found it super useful and felt confident walking in on day one, pretty much starting from scratch (and with some girls still super mad at her). She’s chosen a smaller group this year and is much happier so far.

This was great, thank you Rebecca Sparrow, I watched it with my 14yr old and we were nodding throughout!! Loved the practical tips- she’s even said she used one of your tips today to deescalate the drama cyclone and it worked!! So good to have another ‘neutral’ person to hand out the advice. Thanks!!!

Bec this was a brilliant talk last night! What you spoke about are things our kids are dealing with daily. Not only did you teach them how to recognize it but you gave them and parents strategies! Thank you

Thanks for your amazing content Rebecca, my daughter has been having friend troubles this year so purchased your webinar bundle. Tonight we sat together and started watching the friend reset - she said “this lady is really good”

Thank you for giving us tools to open conversations about healthy friendships. This is SO important for our kids

Thanks so much for sharing your expertise so generously Rebecca Sparrow. My 12 year old and I found it really helpful and are very much looking forward to the next one!
