Adolescence is a whole new ball game. Children's bodies start to change, and with that comes a whole new set of challenges.
And we now know that their brains change significantly too, in ways which can be hard for young people and their parents to understand.
Naomi will explain adolescent brain development and will show how the interaction of adolescence and demand avoidance can make life particularly challenging. She'll give you some practical ideas as to how to help your young person (and yourself) get through these important years.
This course is available to watch for 12 months after purchase.
It is suitable for parents of children with and without a diagnosis. It is particularly suitable for parents of children who are in early adolescence, ages 9-14, but will also be relevant to older teenagers.
Total running time: 1 hour 17 mins

This mini-course is for teenagers to watch themselves. It explains why sometimes, everything feels like pressure and the more others try to help you, the harder it is to do anything, even things you’d like to do. It helps teens think about how to build a life which works for them. It’s suitable for anyone who experiences demand avoidance, whether or not they have a diagnosis.
Does your child's behaviour confuse you? Does most of the parenting advice you are given make things worse? Do you feel like you are walking on eggshells? In this course, Dr Naomi Fisher will explain the psychology of demand avoidance. What is it, how does it affect the nervous system - and importantly, what can parents do? You'll end with a clearer idea of what is going wrong and some ideas as to how to help.
