Explore how teenage brain remodelling shapes behavior, with amygdala-driven emotions preceding frontal cortex control. Learn to speak your teen's emotional language to foster harmony.
Build connection with your teenager by praising specific, observed progress, using a shared checklist for clarity, celebrating with brief praise, and using and instead of but to guide improvements.
Explore how to identify and address frustrations with defiant teens by recognizing habit-driven comfort zones, semi-adults, and the role of emotions and amygdala-driven impulses.
Explore why parents react the way they do in parenting teenagers by examining amygdala versus frontal cortex responses, and learn to slow down to use I messages for harmonious parenting.
Discover how to connect with defiant teens using the three-part I message—own your feelings, share brief facts, and avoid you-messages—then practice two to three ready phrases for harmony.
Learn to change habits by practicing and replacing old patterns with new ones, using the cone of learning to boost retention from reading, listening, and simulation.
Explore the drama triangle and its three roles—victim, rescuer, persecutor—and learn to shift toward the victor triangle with responsibility, boundaries, coaching, and challenging growth.
Learn to prevent conflict outbursts by connecting with your defiant teen and yourself, recognizing four stages of conflict, and using timing and I messages to resolve rather than dissolve.
Accelerate transformation by building new habits to improve relationships with your teenager, using a four-step process: decision, aim, declaration, and visualisation, to shout less and foster calm, present tense progress.

Understanding Parent and Child Psychology
Meet Your Trainer:
Sebastian has been transforming lives of young people, their parents and teachers for over 20 years now.
As a teenager he struggled with lack of confidence, low self-esteem and anxiety. All these was happening despite the fact, that Sebastian lived with loving parents and siblings, and was surrounded by relatives and family friends, who were very supportive. However, no one spotted the signs of his deep discomfort and violent emotions which were tearing him apart. “I decided to hide my true feelings as I was ashamed of them. I thought I was not predestined to happiness.”
Teenage time struggle had a huge impact on Sebastian’s adult life. He re-thought how parents, teachers and teenagers could be supported to build mutual understand, communicate better with each other and transform their lives for the better. Sebastian believes that everyone deserves and has the right to be happy and live in harmony with self and others.
Sebastian has been methodically gaining experience and qualifications in the vast area of Education (qualified teacher in two European countries), Psychology (Counselling course). Training (Train the Trainer Certificate) and Life Coaching.
