From: the desk of the woman who’s heard it all
To: every tired mama, up a wee bit too late wondering what she could have done differently to engage with her son
I know you’re busy and pulled in all the directions
(seriously, I know what it’s like trying to stuff the sandwich down his throat so you can get to the gym on time for yoga to “de-stress”)–so I’ll keep this brief:
- You don’t have to walk on eggshells, waiting for him to round on you and blow up just because you asked how his day went.
- And you don’t have to start a convo out with good intentions only to end it with him–or you!–huffing, “Fine.”
- You don’t have to dread the next conversation with your son.
- And you know how sometimes you start talking, only to see his eyes glaze over immediately? You don't need this, either.
In fact, you don’t actually have to do a whole lot to have a productive and meaningful conversation with your son!
(You’ll probably end up doing less!)
but if you don't know the right things to include
and the right things to release...
you could end up watching your son quietly slip away from you, becoming even more distant and lost in his thoughts.
It’s no wonder moms of sons hear the experts, see the movies and think
“what am I doing wrong?”
like so many others
if you've ever thought
and see the movies and think “what am I doing wrong?”
With so many attempts at enjoyable talks with your son,
who can blame you for thinking the next one won’t be any better?

you are not alone
With so many attempts at enjoyable talks with your son,
who can blame you for thinking the next one won’t be any better?
Moms tell me they've tried:
- Scolding in the moment
- Punishments. All the punishments.
- Meeting his anger with your anger
- Waiting for a calm time to address an issue–only to forget to revisit it
- Bribing him, hoping (and failing!) for a calm conversation
- Asking an easy question–but never getting an answer
- Keeping conversation light–only to have him sulk away
As a teacher and mother myself–I’ve been there. I’ve seen it all and done it all only to learn:
You have to be the safe harbor for your son.
You are here to learn to have great discussions with him–AND he needs a few things from you to make that happen.
He needs the talks to be short, easygoing, and active–that’s how HIS brain works best.
And that’s how you can get the best results from your talks, sticking to the S, E, and A.
The SEA Method is the basis of all great discussions
with your son and allows you to be that safe harbor for him–even when talking about the not-so-fun stuff like that chore he keeps avoiding.
“i had no idea”
One of the biggest takeaways was just learning more about boys! I had no idea that you'll get a better response if you don't look a boy straight in the eye and instead take a side by side position while talking with him!

I developed the SEA Method focusing on being the safe harbor for your boy in both the exact ways you’d expect–and a few unlikely ways.
- With 20+ years teaching and coaching parents
- I'm a mother of two daughters
- I have extensive training in Waldorf Education and NLP (neuro-linguistic communication skills)
- B.S. in Elementary Education
Teaching a class that was 80% boys threw me for a loop! But you know what - it gave me the best real-world experience to be able to say to you:
Parents and teachers today feel underprepared to support boys and the challenges they face and confused about the mixed messages surrounding boys.
You’re probably here because you’re experiencing the same confusion–
only you don’t have to go it alone!

TESTIMONIAL
"now he can focus on what I'm saying"
"I've been very mindful regarding short, simple statements and also not expecting/asking Oliver to multitask. For example, instead of trying to push through and deliver a message to him when I can see he's busy and then creating a struggle, I am waiting until he is done with that task and now he can focus on what I'm saying. Thank you!"

TESTIMONIAL
“relatable and trustable”
“You bring a youthfulness to wisdom that youth doesn’t have. You carry a confidence and assuredness that makes you relatable and trustable simply with your presence and then your clear, unrushed delivery creates space for receiving your wisdom.”
Carol Downing
How much time will this take me?
My goal for you isn’t to spend a ton of time learning. It’s to spend quality time with your son!
Combined, the training in this blueprint will take you about an hour to work through–and with the optional worksheets and tools you’ll still not need too many extra minutes.
That said, some of these techniques will take practice. It’s not about how much time–what would you be willing to invest for a lifetime of great talks? You’ll choose one or two strategies to work with and form that good habit. Then you can come back and learn another strategy.
How fast can I expect to see results?
You can implement some of the tools right away and start experiencing better conversations just by having them at the right time! Just like any behavior, though, real change takes place over time and you’ll see results stack upon each other in time.
Oh and P.S? These talk techniques aren’t just for your son. They’re great for men and work relationships, too!
Is everything available immediately?
Everything I’ve shared on this page is available, right now for you, just on the other side of the checkout page. My goal for you? Start having great conversations with your son now.
Will I need any extra training to have great talks?
The only “extra” you’ll need is the opportunity to test these strategies with your son.
Just like some kids love bananas and some kids can’t get away from them fast enough, some strategies will have better results with your kid and others may be best for a different boy. They’re all tried and true. Now it’s time for you to make them true for you!
Whether your son is three or thirteen,
The Boy TALK Blueprint’s pillars are solid
and will help you not only have more productive conversations with your boy, but enjoy them, too.
What a concept, knowing that talking to your son about the trivial things AND the tough things can follow the same format!
You don’t have to be a parenting guru, read 17 books, subscribe to countless podcasts and run the PTA to have a meaningful conversation with your son. You just need to know a few key strategies–and you can apply them anytime.
With the Eggshells-No-More guarantee, there’s virtually no risk. Use the Blueprint to gain the relationship with your son you’ve always longed for!
