Demystifying Parenting Teens

Helping parents confidently support their teenagers’ struggles with practical tools and compassionate guidance that works

You think you know your child - and then they grow up.

One day, you’re connected. The next, you’re navigating mood swings, slammed doors, and total silence.

Whether you’re raising a child who’s just starting to pull away or a teen who’s already having emotional shutdowns, it can feel like everything changed overnight.

The shift can leave even the most steady, thoughtful parent second-guessing everything they thought they knew about parenting and asking:

“What happened? Am I doing something wrong?”

The truth? You’re not parenting wrong.

You’re just using old tools that don’t work anymore.

Your child isn’t a child in the same way anymore. What worked when they were learning their first words won’t work with their emotional, expressive, and very colourful language they speak now.

You don’t have to rip up the parenting rulebook. But you do need to update it.

It’s time for parenting that meets them where they’re at - and supports you too.

Ready to parent your teen with more confidence?

Learn how to speak your teens’ language

This isn’t about “fixing” your teen.

It’s about learning how to truly connect by understanding their language and responding in ways they can hear.

They’ve changed. And the most powerful thing we can do as parents is to evolve with them.

That’s why I translate the science of parenting teens into practical, compassionate tools that evolve with your teen – meeting them where they are, not where you wish they were.

I want to empower parents as the vital – and too often missing – link in teenagers’ wellbeing.

This isn’t perfect parenting.

It’s real and effective parenting – grounded in what works today.

And it starts with the RESET method.

Breathe in. RESET. Begin again.

When it feels like nothing is working -

Parenting teens shouldn’t feel like you’re bracing for impact every day.

At Parentology World, every course, coaching session, and resource is built around the RESET Method – a proven framework that helps you stop reacting in the moment and start parenting with confidence, calm, and connection.

It’s a roadmap you’ll use on the hard days, the confusing moments, and the emotional rollercoasters. RESET gives you the tools to:

✅ Recognise what’s going on

Move beyond guesswork. Learn to spot the real root of your teens’ behaviour – so you can stop reacting to their drama and start responding to their needs.

✅ Empathise without losing yourself

You’ll learn how to meet your teen with calm, grounded empathy - even when they’re shutting down, lashing out, or pushing every boundary.

✅ Stay regulated & rebuild trust

Whether you’re navigating conflict, silence, or crisis, the RESET framework helps you manage your emotional response and show up as the steady, trusted presence your teen needs most.

This approach is at the heart of everything I do, because real support for real parenting starts with a method that works in real life.

“You explained things so clearly and really took the time to listen. We never felt rushed or dismissed. You helped us make sense of what was going on beneath the surface, and gave us steps we could actually follow through with. For the first time in a long time, we felt confident and that we could be supported with your help.”

From chaos to calm: here’s how we get you there

Hi, I’m Laura Thomas!

And I know how overwhelming it can feel to raise a teenager today.

With over 22 years of experience as a qualified psychotherapist and parenting coach, I’ve helped hundreds of families navigate everything from school refusal and shutdowns to daily meltdowns and silent standoffs.

I’m also the author of two regarded parenting books – and a mum of two teens myself. So when I say I get it, I truly mean it.

Here’s the truth:

Most parents are still using strategies that worked when their kids were 7, but fell flat at 14. That’s not your fault. There’s never been a clear manual for parenting teens… Until now.

I created Parentology World to be the guide I wish I’d had – a supportive, no-guilt space where overwhelmed parents can access therapeutic-informed tools, real-time support, and parenting strategies that work for parenting teenagers today.

If you’re ready to stop second-guessing yourself and start parenting with clarity, calm, and confidence, you’re in the right place.

Become the calm in your teenager’s storm

Dealing with teenage turbulence?

When emotions run high and communication shuts down, it can feel like your home has become a battleground. You’re trying your best, but nothing seems to work, and you’re constantly second-guessing yourself.

💡 That’s where 1:1 parenting coaching comes in.

Using my therapeutically informed RESET method, we’ll work together to help you:

✅ Understand what’s going on beneath your teen’s behaviour

✅ Stay calm and clear-headed when they’re having a meltdown, shutdown, or pushing every one of your buttons

✅ Build the skills to create a more peaceful, calmer home for your entire family

This is real support for real families, with strategies that meet your teen where they are – and support you exactly where you are. No two families are the same. That’s why every 1:1 coaching package is customised to your family dynamic – whether you’re navigating solo parenting, a blended household, or just the growing pains of adolescence.

Here’s what it might look like:

🔷 Voice-note support when you need quick on-the-spot advice

🔷 Personalised action plans and weekly strategy check-ins

🔷 Virtual sessions that fit into your schedule

You don’t have to figure this out alone.
