The first is from parents who worry their kids, teens or young adults don’t have enough friends. No parent wants to see their child sitting at home every weekend or on the long school holidays with no invitations from classmates to hang out. These are the kids who need a few key strategies on how to find friends and make a great first impression and connect with others.

RS Toxic Friendships How to Spot One & How To Get Out
The second? It’s always about toxic or unhealthy friendships.

Parents who are exhausted by the rollercoaster nature of their child’s problematic friendships.

You can feel helpless as you stand by watching your child be treated horribly by a so-called ‘best friend’.

5
Maybe it's the friend who always makes a joke at your child’s expense in front of everyone, then calls them "too sensitive" when they're upset.
7

Maybe it's the one who's only ever nice when nobody else is around.

6
Maybe it's the group chat that goes quiet the second your child shows up.

Whatever is going on – the fact is it’s BRUTAL.

Here's the hard part. Our kids can refuse to see it. That’s because when you're in a friendship like this, it doesn't tend to feel toxic 24/7. That’s the problem. And it’s just one of the reasons it's so hard to walk away from.
I’m here to help change that.

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!
