Being a teenager is demanding. Being the parent of a teenager is perhaps even more demanding. And when that teen is pressure sensitive - or demand avoidant - this is even more true.
Low demand parenting looks different for teenagers. They're at a different stage of life, where they are moving from the dependence of childhood to the independence of adulthood. Parents can't make everything okay anymore, and we can't protect them from the growing demands and expectations of the world. Pressure may come just as much from inside them as from the outside, and no matter how low demand we might be as parents, we can't make that go away.
In this brand-new webinar, Naomi and Eliza will talk about pressure sensitive teens. They'll talk about what changes during adolescence, and how understanding teenage brain development can help us to empathise with and support our teens. They'll talk about how parenting changes as children become teenagers, and show parents can balance those changes with a low demand (and low pressure) approach.
Illustrated throughout with Eliza's witty and insightful cartoons, this webinar will be in our trademark down-to-earth and chatty style.
This webinar will be recorded and then will be available for 30 days following the webinar if you choose the webinar + recording option at checkout.

This was awesome. Like, life-changing and affirmative!
Such a humble, insightful and highly informative webinar. Dr Naomi Fisher and Eliza Fricker were the perfect duo of lived experience and academic knowledge. Lots to go away with to put into practice with those we work with, plus in our own home. Would highly recommend to anyone.
