Connecting with the Complex Boys in your Class

How understanding the neurobiology that changes the way we teach our boys.

Our prefrontal cortex, the part of our brain responsible for focus, handling short-term memory, solving problems, and moderating impulse control it is the centre for our executive control and willpower AND the boys you teach don’t have a fully functioning one until their mid to late twenties!

 This high practical but intensely challenging workshop does a deep dive into the research behind issues that beset boys at school and shows how we can help boys learn tactics that help with…

  • inattention
  • lack of focus or hyper focus
  • poor time management
  • weak impulse control
  • exaggerated emotional responses
  • hyperactivity
  • executive dysfunction

The workshop provides you with clear directions that your school can take to enable your boys to

  • Be more empathic and supportive of others
  • Perform better in school
  • Have more positive and stable relationships
  • Have good mental health and wellbeing
  • Display less behavioural problems
  • Develop resilience and coping skills
  • Feel more competent, capable, and confident
  • Have a positive sense of their masculinity
