Finally — solid guidance for parenting teens,
minus the guess‑work (and the $250‑a‑session therapy bill)!
If daily life with your teenager feels like a roller‑coaster of eye‑rolls, closed doors and late‑night worry, you’re not alone.
But you don’t need to wait months for a family‐therapy appointment — or empty your savings — to get expert help. Dealing with Teenagers is a self‑paced online course that gives you the same evidence‑based tools a psychologist uses with families every day, for a fraction of the cost of a single session.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the course take me to complete?
You can easily watch an episode over lunch, on the commute home or in less than time than it takes to cook dinner of an evening.
The course has been designed for you to dedicate about 30 mins per episode to watch it and then complete the activities, read over the material and do the other reflections.
How many hours a week should I dedicate to the course?
We totally understand that you've got a full schedule and a full life so we've intentionally designed this course to fit around you and your time commitments.
We suggest you dedicate a regular, non negotiable time to working through it so it doesn’t add to digital clutter and get buried on your to-do list.
Does it work to fix my eye rolling or monosyllabic teen?
There’s nothing to ‘fix’ but hopefully you will gain a range of insights into your teens behaviours and motivations (or lack thereof), build new perspectives to approach talking to them, and develop confidence in guiding them through to adulthood.
