Parents

Nobody teaches us how to do relationships. We’re handed the most important job of our lives – loving a partner, raising children, staying connected to family – with no instruction manual and plenty of opportunities to get it wrong. So we repeat the same arguments, hit the same walls, and wonder why the people we…

What if the best thing you can do for your child isn't protecting them from struggle — but equipping them to face it? Dr Justin Coulson challenges the idea that childhood should be stress-free and shows you how to build genuine resilience by allowing developmentally appropriate challenges while providing the right support at the right time.

He's disappearing behind a closed door, lost in screens, making choices that keep you up at night. Raising boys today means navigating a world designed to confuse them — and parents often feel powerless to help. Dr Justin Coulson shares what the research reveals about what boys actually need, and how you can stay connected through every stage.

One minute you're sharing laughter and deep conversation. The next, she's shutting you out completely. The teenage years with your daughter can feel like a rollercoaster — and just when you think you've found a rhythm, everything shifts again. Dr Justin Coulson shows you how to navigate the disconnect and rebuild a strong, lasting connection with your girl.

Meltdowns, outbursts, and challenging behaviours can leave us feeling lost and unsure how to help. It’s tough when our kids are struggling with big emotions! What we sometimes forget is that these behaviours usually stem from overwhelming feelings that our children don’t yet have the tools to manage.

Your child loses it over the wrong colour cup. Or because you cut the toast wrong. Or for no obvious reason. At. All.  If you're a parent of young children, big emotional outbursts are part of daily life, but that doesn't make them any easier to handle. In this engaging session, Dr Justin Coulson helps parents understand why little kids feel so much so intensely, and why our instinctive responses (calm down, stop it, you'll be fine) so often make things worse. Drawing on the best child development science, Justin explains the four key reasons young children struggle to regulate their emotions — and what's actually happening in their brains when things go sideways.

The research is unambiguous: the single greatest gift a parent can give a child isn’t a school, a sport, or a screen-free rule. It’s a relationship. Specifically, one where a child feels genuinely seen, known, and emotionally safe. In this workshop, Dr Justin Coulson translates the science of emotional availability into something parents can actually…

One in four adolescents now experiences an anxiety disorder. You see it in your child — the fears, the fading confidence, sometimes even panic attacks. It's heartbreaking and you feel helpless. Dr Justin Coulson shows you what's really happening, why anxiety is surging, and the evidence-based strategies that will help your child reclaim their confidence.

How much screen time is OK? When should they get a phone? Are games making them violent? Is social media destroying their wellbeing? No parenting conversation creates more confusion than the screens debate. Dr Justin Coulson cuts through the noise with clear, research-backed answers and practical strategies you can start using today.

It's no longer enough to simply monitor screen time. Today's kids face unprecedented challenges from social media and online content — and parents need a comprehensive strategy to navigate it all. Dr Justin Coulson provides practical, actionable solutions to help you protect your child's wellbeing in the digital age.
