A collection of my most popular webinars for tweens, teens and parents
introducing...
The Ultimate
Webinar Bundle
Twenty years of working with tweens, teens, and parents has taught me a few things that just can’t be learned in school.
The biggest takeaway?
The biggest decison we make in our lives is WHO WE CHOOSE TO HANG AROUND.
Being able to recognise a healthy friendship, knowing how to BE a great friend, understanding how to side-step drama and the importance of communicating your boundaries - THESE are the most important life skills we ever learn. And if school was actually really difficult for you OR you're just not sure how to teach your child any of this stuff ... I'm here to help.
Want to know what two questions tweens and teens ask me the most?
1. How do I make more friends?
2. how do i know if my friends really like me?
Yikes.
(Let's just take a moment to remember how brutal school can be and the agony of wondering who you'll sit with at lunch time or in maths class.)
Learning how to find friends is one thing (and it's scary because striking up a conversation with a stranger is realy vulnerable!)
But the real skill is knowing what a good friendship LOOKS like and FEELS like.
And it's something we all need to be taught.
Because the truth is for most kids whether or not they enjoy school comes down to one basic thing ... who they choose to hang around.
Are they hanging around with people who bring out their best self? Who cheer them on? Who like them for who they are? OR are they choosing friends who routinely exclude them, humiliate them and let them down?
This is where I can help.

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.

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!

Just wanted to say thank you - this was BRILLIANT. The perfect length to keep my 10 year old twins engaged with practical real life examples they can both use. And great tips for parents too.

THE REVIEWS ARE IN!
Hi Rebecca,
I am writing to thank you. My daughter and I watched your webinar before her first day on Monday starting at XXXXXX, my first high schooler. She is the only girl from her primary school attending. She is a super nice kid who is quiet but friendly. She is the nice girl who sits in the group, but no one thought to invite anywhere.
The first day of school was awful. She said, “I have no friends, I ate by myself, I don’t know anyone”. This was devastating to me, especially with the end of last year. I completely kept it together for, her told her tomorrow is a new day. Later I locked myself in my bedroom and cried for her.
After I got over myself and pulled myself together, we discussed a game plan for today. We discussed things from your webinar which was so very practical. All the things that we think they can do automatically but don’t.
She came home today, chatty as ever, has met new friends and was so excited to talk about it. HOORAAAY! Tonight she was messaging a friend. A friend said how they met no new friends at their new school.
She replied with advice: “Make sure you pick the friendliest face and approach them, and look friendly, find a small group of girls of just two or three – it really works!"
I couldn’t help myself but to share this with you and thank you for the wonderful practical guidance you are giving, so very helpful and heart-warming!
Keep spreading the guidance and love!

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!!!"
AWESOME PARENT
"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."
AWESOME PARENT
"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

"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 
"
AWESOME PARENT
"Bec, this was seriously so great, super practical and like you wrote it specifically for my 12 year old starting secondary school next week!
I loved that you spoke directly to our children - ‘this is what I want for you’ and provided really accurate examples of opportunities to put your wise words into practice. Just brilliant. THANK YOU for creating incredible resources for us and our kids. I feel like I have solid scaffolding for what’s to come 
"
AWESOME PARENT
"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 
"
Thankyou for making XXXX feel this way."
AWESOME PARENT
"I watched this tonight with my son (11). It was absolutely amazing. The practical one liner ideas for realistic mean scenarios, the way you spoke as if their problems aren’t smaller than what adults might experience in the workplace.
You held his attention the ENTIRE time and I’m hoping he takes away some of the messages. He has low self-esteem. Negative or mean comments really land on him. I was so happy to have listened."
