Simple science and practical strategies to help your teen stay safer, think smarter, and navigate parties, alcohol and drugs with confidence.

Teen parties create some of the biggest worries for parents. Alcohol shows up earlier, more often, and in situations where teens are surrounded by peers, pressure, and excitement. Most advice focuses on rules and consequences, but that usually misses the real driver behind teen behaviour: their brain.

In this seminar, neuroscience educator Nathan Wallis explains what alcohol does to the developing brain, why risk-taking peaks in adolescence, and how you can guide your teen’s choices in ways that protect your relationship and reduce harm.

Understanding the teenage brain gives you a huge advantage. When you know what’s happening neurologically, the conversations get easier, the strategies make sense, and your teen is more likely to listen. This seminar gives you the science, the language, and the confidence to guide them through some of the most high-stakes decisions they’ll face.
 

What You’ll Learn

✅ How alcohol affects the teenage brain, judgement, and impulse control

✅ Why teens take bigger risks in groups and how to reduce harm without escalating conflict

✅ The peak-risk periods across the year (and why Christmas and New Year are high-alert times)

✅ How to talk about alcohol in a way your teenager will actually hear

✅ Practical strategies for parties, pre-drinks, sleepovers, and high-pressure social situations

✅ How to stay connected while still setting realistic boundaries

✅ Tools for helping teens build safer habits as they move toward independence


Who It’s For

Parents and caregivers of 12–18 year olds wanting clear, evidence-based guidance on alcohol, risk-taking, parties, and keeping teens safe while still supporting independence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy a seminar or bundle for someone else?

Yes, you can absolutely gift a seminar to someone else... many people do!

Here’s how it works:

1) Purchase the seminar using your own email address.

2) Then email us at brainyparentingnz@gmail.com with the name and email of the person you’d like to receive access.

3) We’ll transfer the seminar to them and send you a confirmation once it’s done.

That way, you can handle the purchase and and they still get full access with no confusion.

What do I actually get when I buy?

You’ll get instant access to stream the video from your browser or phone. Everything’s designed to be practical and easy to revisit whenever you need a reset, or your kid throws a curveball.

Are these videos live?

Nope. They’re on-demand, which means you can watch them whenever suits you—pause, rewind, rewatch, or skip to the bit you care about. Whether you’re up at 2am with a newborn or hiding in the pantry during a toddler tantrum, it’s there for you.

Do I have to watch the videos in a certain order?

Not at all. Each webinar focuses on a different stage of development—so just jump into the one that fits your kid’s age (or your interest). That said, lots of parents tell me they watched one and ended up watching all three. Once you start seeing how it all connects, it’s hard not to go deeper.

Is Nathan's teachings actually based on science?

Absolutely. Everything Nathan teaches is grounded in 25+ years of research in neuroscience, human development, trauma, and education. I’ve lectured at university level, trained social workers, advised governments and distilled all that into language that makes sense in a living room, not a lab.

Who are these for? Just mums?

Hell no. These are for anyone raising or working with kids: mums, dads, grandparents, teachers, youth workers, even curious teenagers. If you’ve got a kid in your life and want to understand what’s going on in their head, you’re in the right place.

Do you offer refunds?

We stand behind the content, but if you’ve accidentally bought the wrong webinar or something’s gone sideways, reach out and we’ll sort it. We’re human. We get it.

7-Day Risk-Free Guarantee

Every Brainy Parenting seminar is designed to deliver practical, research-backed insights you can use immediately. If you feel the content doesn’t match what we described, let us know within 7 days and we’ll give you a full refund.

We offer this guarantee because we believe so strongly in the value of our teachings. The only thing we ask is that you let us know why it wasn’t right for you so we can keep improving.
