Parenting can be great fun and satisfying at times. It can also be a very difficult and thankless task!

When you add in sport and the emotions and pressures that come with it, it can take parenting challenges to a whole new level.

As children get older, they naturally become more independent, spending much more time outside of home whether at school, playing activities or with their friends.

The busyness of their lives and their reliance on technology can often make it difficult to engage them in conversations.

Their personality, age and hormones also play a part too, and the fact you are their parent!

This is the motivation behind the “Conversations with Kids” emails to be able to help you the parent navigate some of the challenges that you and they will likely face. It will help you communicate WITH them and not TO them.

As a result, our hope is that they will slowly over time increase in mental strength and improve their emotional flexibility so that they are able to deal with challenges and setbacks better.

The guidance we share offers creative ways that you can converse with your children and prompts you may offer them should they struggle to respond.
