A FREE LIVE WEBINAR FOR PARENTS OF PRETEENS AND TEENS AGED 10–18

Why your teen pushes you away

and what they're really asking for

What teenagers tell me, and struggle to tell you.

What the pushing away is actually about

Why a teenager can seem not to care while being affected far more deeply than we realise.

What they struggle to say at home

The patterns I hear again and again and the question underneath most of it: do I matter to you?

Which of your own responses close the door

And why changing the dynamic doesn't have to start with convincing your teenager to change.

WHEN: WEDNESDAY 23rd SEPTEMBER, 7 PM UK

FORMAT: LIVE, WITH TIME FOR YOUR QUESTIONS

DURATION: 60 MINUTES

What you'll leave with

Not a script. A different way of seeing what's happening

01: UNDERSTANDING

You'll know what the distance is really about.

Silence, sarcasm, a closed door. You’ll be able to look underneath the behaviour and recognise the need it might be expressing, instead of reading it as rejection.

02: PERSPECTIVE

You'll hear what teenagers say when their parents aren't in the room.

The things they tell me privately, and why they don't feel able to say them at home. This is the part parents tell me they think about for weeks afterwards.

03: A DIFFERENT RESPONSE

You'll see which of your own reactions close the door.

Blame, judgement, shame and “should” language can shut a teenager down, even when the concern behind them is valid. You’ll learn how to respond in ways that reduce defensiveness and help them feel safe enough to talk to you.

How the hour runs

0-10 min: What's really going on

Why teenagers pull away exactly when they still need us most. And why it isn’t personal, even when it feels personal.

10-40 min: What they tell me

The patterns I hear again and again from teenagers about their parents. This is the heart of it.

40-50 min: What can shift

Where emotional safety comes in, why it has to come before correction, and what that looks like in an ordinary conversation.

50-60 min: Your questions, and what's next

I’ll answer your questions and briefly tell you about my course for anyone who would like to continue learning with me. If you joined only for the teaching, you are very welcome to leave at this point.

Who you'll be spending the hour with

Hello, I'm Egli.

I support parents of teenagers as they rebuild connection through calmer conversations, a deeper understanding of what's really going on, and practical tools for real life.

I'm a mum of two teenagers, an educator, parent coach and mediator. For over 30 years I've worked with teenagers and their families in classrooms, around kitchen tables, and during some of life's most difficult conversations.

If there's one thing I've learnet, it's this…

Behind every slammed door, eye roll, or argument is a young person trying to figure out who they are… and a parent doing the very best they can.

I don't believe in perfect parenting. I believe in curiosity over judgement, connection over control, and the skills that make small shifts possible.

From my home in Cyprus, I support families around the world through coaching, workshops and talks.

"Throughout all the sessions, Egli's demeanour oozed compassion and kindness. She is an excellent listener, and her guidance is thoughtful and practical, always checking that everything is clear. Her intention to be of service shines through whenever she speaks."

Nadia Sanchez, mother of a teenager, London

"Working alongside Egli on our school's wellbeing team, seeing her gentle presence and genuine care when speaking with parents made me realise even more how important it is to get to the heart of what both children and parents need. I whole-heartedly recommend her to any parent seeking guidance."

Maria Prastiti, School and Educational Psychologist

"I felt safe and encouraged to share. A place of respect, kindness and open communication for parents."

If some of this feels familiar in your family

You miss the closeness you once had.

The same arguments leave you exhausted.

You worry you may be losing your teenager.

I created this webinar for you.
