We are a Happy Families College!

Our College is now subscribed to the Happy Families School Website! 

Owned and run by Dr Justin Coulson, one of Australia’s leading parenting experts, the membership offers a wealth of parenting education and resources.

Dr Coulson has presented at Endeavour College on behalf of the Connected Schools, for the past two years on a range of helpful parenting topics. You may have seen him on Channel Nine’s Parental Guidance or regularly on morning television.

Instead of presenting in person at the College, we will regularly share resources available through the Happy Families Membership with you, including articles and webinars. 

Current Webinar:

A parent's guide to raising a child with ADHD

There may be no psychological condition more controversial and provocative than ADHD. At one extreme, we see some people say it doesn’t exist. Other’s say it’s a result of poor parenting. At the other end, people write books about “the ADHD advantage”, and how children can thrive in spite of – or even because of – this condition.

 

But for parents who are raising children with an ADHD diagnosis, their child’s behaviour can seem like a wrecking ball. Coping with the “war at home”, families often feel divided. Parents struggle to be on the same page, torn between loving their child and flipping out because things are out of control. And the fear of judgment from others makes finding support additionally challenging.

 

In “A Parent’s Guide to Raising an ADHD child”, Dr Justin Coulson will explore up-to-the-minute science on what ADHD is, why it occurs, and most importantly, what parents can do to create something at home that feels sane and balanced in an often-chaotic climate.

 

This 60-minute webinar will:

  • Provide science-supported strategies that build parental knowledge,
  • Improve child compliance,
  • Offer family-strengthening tips to support parents, strengthen relationships, and build bonds.

Upcoming Live Webinar:

Tweens, Teens and Screens

When: Tuesday, 29 October 

              8:00pm AEDT

No conversation about ‘kids these days’ has created more confusion and contention than the ‘screen-time’ discussion. How much is ok? How old should they be before they have a phone? Are games making our kids violent? Is social media destroying wellbeing?

Until now, our challenge has been that so much research is contradictory, there’s so little good-quality research, and there has been so much we simply don’t know. But all that is changing.

Join Dr Justin Coulson, one of the nation’s leading parenting experts, as he unpacks – step by step – the specific conclusions we can draw about our digital kids. 

In this presentation you’ll discover:

  • Why screen time is an unhelpful way to talk about kids and screens
  • How boys and girls are affected differently by their screen use
  • The true story about screens and social media
  • The uncomfortable truth about boys and violent video games, and
  • Why ‘the displacement hypothesis’ is the critical lever to pull in balancing screen use for our kids’ wellbeing

Tweens, Teens & Screens is the conversation the nation needs to have about our kids and their screens.
