Talk to your Preteen
(before TikTok does).
How to have smart conversations about consent, confidence, relationships and staying safe online.
Parenting a preteen is no joke.
One minute they’re your little buddy. The next? Eye rolls, one-word answers, and claims that you just don’t get it. You want to keep them safe, confident, and connected as they grow up, but it feels like every time you try to bring something up you get a closed door in your face.Â
I see you.
When I became a stepmom to two girls (ages 7 and 9 at the time), I thought I’d crush it. After all, I’d been teaching sexual health and empowerment for years. But when it came to my own family, I struggled. My timing was off. I talked for too long. I was (ouch) a little preachy.
And the result? A few too many “Here she goes again…” glances between them.Â
That’s when I realized: even the most conscientious parents need a game plan.
Â
This workshop is for you if…
- You want less drama, less conflict, and more connection with your preteen.
- You want to talk about tricky topics (yup, even screen time) without losing it.
- You’re tired of eye-rolls and “I know, Mom!”s every time you try.
- You want a solid game plan for what to know, do, and say for your message to actually land.
In less than one hour, you’ll…
- Learn why your preteen still wants (and needs) to hear from you…even though they would never admit it
- Discover how to avoid the #1 mistakes parents make when trying to connect
- Get word-for word-scripts and conversation starters that work
- Learn how to handle big topics like consent, relationships and making smart decisions online.
- Walk away with a practical Game Plan you can use right away.
 "It was amazing! Reflective, informative and the humour trickled throughout made it entertaining -- you’re very good at what you do! Thank you!"
"Fun, direct, honest approach to current issues facing kids and parents."
"You were utterly fabulous, of course!"
From my family to yours
After 25+ years teaching in classrooms (and yes, surviving Grade 7s asking me every possible question about sex), I can tell you this: parents are still the #1 influence in their kids’ lives. Even when it doesn’t feel like it.
The truth is, your voice matters more than TikTok, more than their friends, more than any influencer. Sometimes we just need the right words, and the right approach, for the message to land.
That’s why I created this workshop: to give you a clear, practical Game Plan for guiding your preteen through all things growing up. You’ll learn from my mistakes as a parent, my experience as an educator, and the wisdom of thousands of kids I’ve worked with.
Join me and I’ll show you how to have smart conversations the easy way.
