Teen Talks & Q&A

Henry Dingle, Teen Mentor of Young Fire Academy, joins parenting consultant Roma Norriss for two supportive and solution-oriented talks for parents of tweens and teens. There will be ample time for questions after, so please bring your gnarliest tween/teens issues. Roma and Henry both love a challenge!

HENRY DINGLE will speak on: How to motivate your Teen: A Liberating Reset for Burned-out Parents.

A one-stop shop for exasperated parents and demotivated, under-performing and frustrated teenage students, Henry is an expert in the engagement and motivation of young adults through authentic relationship-building, trust and accountability. With over 15 years experience, Henry empowers young adults to ‘self-direct’ their own learning – to lead on it themselves and to do it with joy, motivation and purpose. He also holds an online community of over 1.2k grateful parents.

ROMA NORRISS will speak on: Letting go and Holding On: Why they need to fight us and how to survive.

Dubbed “the Nigella of parenting’, Roma Norriss turns around scratch-your-eyes-out-hard family situations where nothing else has worked. She can be sighted in a naughty red dress but in actuality spends most of her time coaching internationally from her bed in pyjamas. She has been working with parents (as a Birthworker, NCT Breastfeeding Counsellor and Hand in Hand Parenting Instructor) since 2006 and is a warm, overconfident, prolific, playful, pattern interrupter who somehow has the answers to your life.

The Café will be open for food and drinks throughout.
