Parents

Help your child get ready for a future that needs thoughtful understanding, critical thinking, and the ability to handle controversy.

The audience

Who it’s for

For parents who want to equip their children for the future. That future requires more thoughtful understanding, more critical thinking, and the ability to navigate controversy.

This workshop is not about parent–child conflict. The angle is preparation: helping your child become better ready for what comes next.

The work

What it builds

  • A way to help your child get ready for the future
  • Thoughtful understanding
  • Critical thinking
  • The ability to navigate controversy
  • Truth-seeking: how a young person reads online sources and social media

Where it applies

Example settings

  • Talking about the news and the world
  • What a child meets online and on social media
  • Preparing for school discussion and debate
  • Getting ready for civic and university life

What’s on offer

Workshop formats

Two in-person or live online workshops, with different work in each. An online workshop series is on the way. Workshops can include follow-up practice after the event, to consolidate what was learned.

Parents workshop

A session on how to help your child get ready for a future that asks for thoughtful understanding and critical thinking. Parents leave with a method they can pass on — not a script for family conflict.

  • Thoughtful understanding
  • Critical thinking
  • Equipping your child for the future

Full-day workshop

A full day on navigating controversy, and on truth-seeking in the online and social-media world your child already lives in. Time to practise the method, and to work through the kinds of claims a young person has to weigh.

  • Navigating controversy
  • Truth-seeking online and on social media
  • Preparing a young person for what’s next
