I know that parenting a teenager can be tiring, a little stressful and an intense roller-coast of rapid change. I also know that it can also be so rewarding, especially once you understand what teen’s need. These videos are from a 2-part Webinar that is designed to help parents and carers embrace, connect with and enjoy this stage of life.

If you’ve recently found yourself saying, “Why are we still negotiating about this?” this webinar is for you.
Most kids, regardless of their age, are master negotiators! Their single minded, intentional drive can be difficult for parents to match, especially if we don’t upskill as they grow.

Raising boys today feels more complicated than ever. Between the daily battles over screen time, sudden drops in school motivation, and explosive emotional outbursts, it is easy to feel overwhelmed.
To help our families navigate these challenges, Sacred Heart College has secured free access to a live "Ask Me Anything" online session with Dr Justin Coulson on June 16.
Celebrating the launch of his highly anticipated new book, BOYS, Dr Coulson will be answering your most pressing questions about how to deeply connect with your son, manage the ongoing tension around screens, and guide him toward becoming a good, resilient man.
When: Tuesday 16 June 2026 | 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM AEST Where: Online (Join from the comfort of your living room) Cost: FREE for Sacred Heart College families
