How to Get Kids to Listen
Without yelling, nagging or losing control
Many parents & caregivers struggle to get their children to listen and cooperate without resorting to nagging, raising their voices, or feeling like they’re constantly battling for control.
This presentation introduces parents and professional caregivers to an approach that fosters cooperation, responsibility, and respect while maintaining a positive parent-child relationship.
Topics:
• Understanding the main drivers of kids’ behavior.
• Set boundaries that kids actually respect with the 7 R method.
• Follow through without yelling, power struggles or guilt.
• How to validate and apply active listening.
• Build connection and cooperation in their home.
The workshop is packed with practical tips and actionable steps to help parents raise their kids with confidence and clarity.
Screentime & Boundaries
How to create balance around screens with boundaries that stick
Screens are everywhere - from phones and tablets to gaming and TV - and finding a healthy balance can be a daily struggle for families. How much is too much? What’s safe? And how do we set limits that don’t turn into battles?
​
In this practical and engaging workshop, we'll explore what healthy media use looks like for kids today and how parents can guide them toward better habits. Parents will learn how to set screen boundaries that last - without nagging, bribing, or constant negotiations - and walk away with realistic strategies they can use right away at home.

"We were honored to welcome Josine at our school for her insight and deeply engaging lecture on media use and healthy boundaries for students. Her presentation offered exactly the kind of clarity, expertise, and empathy that our parent community has been asking for. She explained complex topics - digital exposure, screen habits, online safety, and emotional wellbeing - in a way that was both accessible and impactful. She combined scientific knowledge with practical, everyday strategies that families can immediately apply at home. Her examples were relatable, her guidance thoughtful and calm, and her approach reassuring rather than alarmist. We are grateful to Josine for sharing her expertise and for helping our community navigate the digital world with greater confidence and intention.”
