Event Description
Join us for this Parent Workshop with leading psychologist and parenting expert, Megan De Beyer. The workshop will be held over 2 days commencing Friday, 15 November from 4-6.30pm and Saturday, 16 November from 9am-5pm.
Although there will be general information useful for parents of all boys, this workshop will have a focus on parents of teenage boys.
A light lunch and refreshments will be served. A full program can be found on Megan’s website. Please note that you must attend both days to participate in the program. Be quick as places are limited.
This workshop, which is part-funded by the School, covers topics for mothers to unpack, such as: communication, good relationships, how to manage change, conscious parenting and dealing with your son’s emotions (including anger).
Topics covered:
- Being a teen and the struggle for his way

- A son’s demand for more freedom and a mother’s role.
- Masculinity, gender differences and testosterone defines a male.
- Good relationships with ‘self’, community and the environment.
- Sex, drugs, parties and social media – how to mentor.
- Conscious parenting – your past and present.
