As the world evolves, so do the ways children access information.
It's crucial to understand that when it comes to sex, your child's curiosity may run deeper than you think. If they're not finding answers from you, they'll turn to other sources.
But can you be sure that what they discover will be accurate, healthy, safe, and aligned with the values you wish for your child? How equipped are you to pre-emptively guide your kids through the topics of sex, consent and body autonomy?
Join Dr Justin Coulson for ‘Sex, Consent, & Staying Safe’ where you’ll learn:
✋ The importance of modelling and teaching consent, respect and boundaries to children of all ages - from babies, toddlers, right through to teens
👍 How to introduce these concepts in developmentally appropriate ways
🫶 What respect and true consent looks like
👂 How to establish a pattern of having the open conversations your child needs as they grow

Since 2010 mood disorders in children and teens, like anxiety and depression, have been steadily rising.
The rise of online gaming, Discord, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok has changed the way kids relate to one another. But it's also changed their expectations for one another - and themselves - and is associated with anxiety, perfectionism, bullying, and self-loathing. In short, our children are worried that they are not enough and their daily interactions with one another, their screens, and even with us, are reinforcing that fear.
In this webinar you’ll discover:
why so many of our kids don’t feel enough how our best-intentioned efforts to help them feel enough backfiresolutions that shift your child's focus from worrying if they’ll ever be enough to no longer even thinking about it, and how to establish a relationship that leaves no doubt that they really are enoughSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Family dynamics have shifted significantly over the last couple of decades. Children, women, and men themselves have been largely set free from the archetype of the "authoritarian father figure". But what's been left in its place?
These days the default caricature of a dad is somewhat clueless. Incompetent, goofy, irresponsible, and undisciplined.
Some dads are leaning right into it, because hey! Why wouldn't you? On the other hand, many fathers reject this stereotype, stepping up to the plate, and contributing wherever they can. But they're still struggling to define what it means to be a man, or how to show up for their families as the best version of themselves.
Science clearly shows us that families thrive when fathers are engaged, present and involved. Their innate strengths and capacity have potential to weave resilience and tenderness into the fabric of family life, shaping character and values with wisdom and support.
Families need fathers, and fatherhood needs to be redefined. Join Dr Justin Coulson for this clarifying and hope-filled webinar that celebrates the unique and invaluable role of fathers in families. He'll unpack:
What it really means to be a man,Common myths about fatherhood,The significant benefits of involved fathers on a child's development and the impact on family dynamics,Insight into the unique contributions fathers bring to parenting,Strategies and tips on how fathers can be present and actively engaged in their children's lives, regardless of family circumstances.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mental Health is on everyone’s lips. There are countless news articles about mental health every year – in fact over the course of a typical day, there are more articles published about mental health than there are about other hot topics like AI, the risk of a recession, and even Taylor Swift!
With 44% of Australian adults having experienced a mental disorder over the course of their lives, and 1 in 5 having experienced symptoms of a mental disorder over the last 12 months, it’s no surprise that Google searches for mental health queries reached an all-time high in 2021.

Parenting is one of those things we often think should just come 'naturally'. We imagine we'll be great at it (not like those family members who can't seem to get it right!) and that our kids will turn out spot on. And then... we have kids.
Reality is painful for many of us. Parenting turns out to be harder than most of us imagined. We feel more tired. We have fewer answers, and the answers we thought we had don't seem to work like we planned. We wonder if we're too strict, too free-range, too gentle, too tiger, or too tired to care. We struggle with screens, feel burdened by boundaries, and feel like all we do is frown.
Yet parenting is also an incredible source of joy and happiness! How do we make it feel like that more often?
Join Dr Justin Coulson, the co-host and parenting expert on Channel 9s hit TV show, Parental Guidance, for some... well, extra special parental guidance! In this jam-packed, interactive, 90-minute webinar, you'll discover:

What does it mean to be a good parent? Are you a good parent when your child is compliant, but a bad parent when they're not? What if they're perfect at age three and challenging at thirteen? And what if your child has additional needs?
The Parenting Revolution is about parenting styles and what it takes to be a great parent. We know about tiger parents, helicopter parents, free-range parents, but have you heard of Tesla parents, leaf-blower parents or iPhone 6 parents?
So many styles, but is there one that actually works?
Join Dr Justin for a practical webinar which draws on content from his new book, The Parenting Revolution, and incorporates up-to-the-minute research in parenting science as well as studies of childhood development.
Dr Justin Coulson will show you:
how our children thrive when we understand and meet their basic psychological needs;
how our job is not to fix our kids, but to create an environment that supports their growth and development; and
how children flourish when we minimise control, but maximise our warmth and involvement, and establish healthy boundaries.
Not all children are the same, and Justin considers a range of circumstances that you or your child might be in - including children with non-typical development.
His revolutionary approach and practical strategies will encourage you to change the way you parent forever.

Sometimes school sucks... or should I say sux? Anyone who's been there knows how awful it is to be sent to what feels like prison. Every day. Friendships fail. The work is hard, or boring, or irrelevant, or all of the above. Sometimes teachers don't understand. Anxiety, ADHD, autism, or jiggly wiggly legs make school feel like torture. And it seems like it will never, ever, ever end.
Parents struggle for solutions when school is a trial for their children. How do we help our children feel positive about learning, experience a sense of belonging, and do the work that can set them up for future success?
Join us for a webinar about how to make school suck a little less. In this webinar, you'll receive:

Raising kids has never been easy. But in recent years, research evidence indicates that parenting may be harder than it has ever been before. There are many reasons for this: an increasingly competitive culture, the decline in mental health among children and adolescents, escalating rates of depression and anxiety among parents, disconnection in relationships, and so much more.
And we are burnt out. Studies show parental burnout is at all-time highs.
How can parents be more resilient? How do we show up in a way that is good for us and good for our kids? How do we sustain the intention, the mindset, the presence, and the positive relationship our kids need to thrive when we feel like we’re going under?

Of all the challenges parents face in raising children, how to “discipline” a child is one of the most contentious. Everyone has an opinion about how we should be parenting. But parents are, more than ever, confused about what is ok and what is not.
Smacking is out - unless you’re part of the old-school. Yelling is the new smacking, but no one wants to yell. It feels horrible. Time-out is the discipline strategy of choice in most major parenting programs but it has major drawbacks, the major one being that it doesn’t seem to work. It seems like every disciplinary strategy has the potential to do damage, and leaves parents scratching their heads, asking “What am I supposed to do?”
Discipline done right doesn’t damage kids.
Join Dr Justin Coulson, one of Australia’s leading parenting experts, for a webinar that explodes the myth that discipline has to hurt. In this 60-minute discipline deep-dive you’ll:
Learn to differentiate between discipline and punishment
Discover why smacking, yelling, time-out, withdrawal of privileges, and grounding are lousy discipline strategies that can do damage
Uncover a new no-damage approach to discipline that builds relationships, improves children’s behaviour, and makes parenting easier!

Life, for many of us, has never felt busier.
The endless roundabout of chores, shopping, financial stresses, work obligations and a thousand other niggling responsibilities is demanding enough – but when we become parents, there’s a whole new level of pressure added to the mix.
How can we manage our own commitments while also encouraging our children to succeed and thrive, plus find the space to nurture our relationships and the time to be genuinely present with our kids?
Unfortunately, our team can’t delete your to-do list. But we can help you to make space for the things (aka people) that matter the most.
Join Dr Justin Coulson for this free webinar as he shares his strategies to tame family burnout and rediscover joy and connection in the 21st century.

In the past ten years, screens have completely upended the way we raise our children. Screens are everywhere. All the time. Social media has taken over our lives and the lives of our kids. 97% if kids are gaming. And the Internet has brought new kinds of risks into our children's lives at earlier and earlier ages.
Screens affect our boys and our girls differently. Boys are caught up in a gaming industry with hundreds of billions of dollars each year. It keeps them up at night. It creates contention in our home as sleeplessness combines with dishonesty, aggression, competitiveness, and the never ending desire for "one more game". Boys' online lives are complicated even more by the growth in gambling among tween and teen boys, and the continued rise of pornography. Boys' access to explicit content has never been easier or more common.
What can we do to help our boys manage their screen time, and manage the content they're exposed to, in safe, healthy ways?

These days "compliance" is a dirty word in the parenting blogosphere. For many people compliance means that a parent is a demanding authoritarian, expecting children to follow orders regardless of preferences otherwise. Compliance connotes coercion and intrusiveness.
As with every social media firestorm, there may be a kernel of truth to this. Compliance is not a healthy long-term objective for our children, and is not an ideal focus for our parenting.
But can we be real for just a minute?
Sometimes they just have to buckle up in the car. They actually should swim between the flags, wear shoes while riding a scooter, and stop throwing knives at their brother! These are safety issues. And they matter.
And sometimes the table does need to be cleared, the school bag put away, or the stinky sports gear placed in the laundry basket. It’s called being part of the family and learning to do your part.
So what do we do when our kids “won’t listen” and it actually does matter?

Did you know that...
your teen's brain is actually overdeveloped, not underdeveloped?boys experience a neurologically related drop in empathy during their early teens, but girls don't?if it were brain development that created risk-taking and sensation-seeking, your 13-year-old would take bigger risks than your 17-year-old?So much of what we "think" we know about the teen brain is just not true. And so much that we need to know about our teenager's brain is not well understood.
The decisions your teen makes can have a deep and long-lasting impact on their life. Choices related to sex and sexuality, alcohol and other drugs, schooling, vocations, and just whether or not they'll listen to us can cast long shadows, or bring long-term happiness. As a parent, understanding your teen's grey matter, matters! You will be their greatest guide through this often tumultuous period. But believe it or not, the teen years don't have to be baffling, and you don't have to be afraid.
Join Dr Justin Coulson for an incredible webinar that looks deep inside our teenager's brains, helping us to know what's really going on in there, and what we can do to help our teenagers make safe, healthy, wise decisions.

Why do our toddlers and pre-schoolers behave in such challenging ways? Why won't they listen? Why can't they understand that when we say it's time to leave the park, it means we have to go?

Little People, Big Feelings is a FREE webinar that answers those questions - and more. In this free presentation for every parent, carer, or educator responsible for anyone under 6, we'll explore why young children are so challenging. More importantly, we'll look to science and history for answers, hacks, tips, and strategies that will help the grown ups act like grown ups when the toddlers and preschoolers are acting like... well... toddlers and preschoolers.

The three things parents say to their kids to make things better... but that actually make things worseThe four central reasons our children have such big outbursts and tantrums, A roadmap to staying calm under pressure, andCutting edge parenting strategies to guide your children through their worst moments and back to calm.Little People, Big Feelings is for the stressed out, time-poor parent who didn't realise raising a monster (oops, I meant "child"... raising a child) could be so difficult!

Join me for this 60 minute webinar where together we'll cover:
How to recognise and understand your own emotional world (and why you must do that before you can help your children understand theirs)Strategies to effective emotional regulation for yourself and your childResearch-backed processes that help build emotional understanding and regulation in your childSolutions for getting your family out of unhealthy emotional responses to life’s challengesBig emotions don’t have to cause big problems.
