Build the kind of relationship that makes parenting easier and more enjoyable.

Most of us want a home that feels calmer, more connected, and more enjoyable to be in. We want kids who feel safe with us, who talk to us, and who grow into confident, capable people.

This seminar shows how being more engaged with your child strengthens connection, builds trust, and helps kids develop the skills they need to manage emotions, make good choices, and stay connected to you as they grow. It’s a practical, relationship-led approach that supports better behaviour and a much better parenting experience along the way.

You’ll also see that engagement doesn’t mean losing authority or letting everything slide. It’s about staying present, slowing your pace, and guiding your child in ways that build self-regulation over time. The result is not only calmer days now, but a stronger relationship that continues to pay off well into the teenage years and beyond.

 

What You’ll Learn

✅ Why self control beats obedience, and how kids actually develop it
✅ The “backbone” style of parenting: warm, firm, flexible, and effective
✅ How to slow your pace and get real engagement (even when you’re tired and rushed)
✅ Validation and paraphrasing: the fastest way to calm the emotional brain so kids can think
✅ How to co construct solutions with teenagers so they practise judgement, not rebellion
✅ The 10 minute “Mate Date” method that upgrades your relationship fast
✅ How rituals and routines build discipline without fear, threats, or constant nagging
✅ Screens, phones, and dopamine: simple boundaries that bring conversation back online
✅ Touch, presence, and showing up: what matters most, even when life is busy


Who It’s For

Parents of kids of any age, from toddlers to teens
Dads who want to be engaged without feeling soft or fake
Parents stuck in daily battles, grunting teenagers, or constant pushback
Caregivers and grandparents who want a calmer, more connected approach

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.
