Middle School Boys Cohort May Cohort
Three weeks to change how you parent your son.
A small-group coaching experience for parents of middle school boys who want to stop reacting and start teaching.
Here's what most parents of middle school boys are doing:
Repeating themselves. Getting frustrated. Oscillating between cracking down and giving up. Watching their son shut down, blow up, or check out. We’re waiting for the “phase” to end, and missing the chance to help them develop durable lifelong social-emotional skills.
It's not a discipline problem. It's a development problem, and when we see it that way, everything changes.
Three weeks. Three shifts.
Week 1: Emotional Literacy is the Cornerstone Our boys will struggle to develop emotional intelligence without coaching and support. Help them understand how emotions show up as action and what they can do with those emotions.
Week 2: Connection across Autonomy When kids enter middle school, their emotional sensitivity and desire for autonomy accelerates. This can lead to disconnection and drift. If we shift our focus in the right ways, we create a more mature form of connection.
Week 3: Identity Identity formation is complex and trying for our sons. Help them understand and facilitate self exploration, reflection, purpose by growing their capacity, self-esteem and confidence.
What makes this different:
- Small group — A handful of parents going through the same thing, with direct access to Sean. Questions are always answered.
- Three connected sessions— real change takes repetition and cohesion. We will explore the interwoven nature of these forces on our sons
- Practical, not theoretical — you leave every session with specific things to say and do. Not "be more empathetic." Actual phrases, actual structure.
- Gender specific — Boys are developmentally different, and culture socializes them differently. Bring awareness to those gaps, so parents can navigate them consciously.
What is included:
- 3 Live one hour classes
- Question and Answer in every session
- Course Slides, Summaries, Key points
- Dozens of scripts and prompts to help parents move from passive to intentional
Who this is for:
Parents of middle school boys (roughly ages 10-14) who feel like they're losing their grip on connection, accountability, or clarity.
Parents who know that developmental psychology, pedagogy, and intention can shape early adolescence into a phase of positive formation and want to move from passive to intentional.
Parents who want to partner with their son because they believe he is awesome.
Your instructor:
Sean Kane — 14 years teaching middle school, master's in education, dad of three boys. He's lived this from both sides — as the teacher who watched hundreds of boys navigate adolescence, and as the dad figuring it out at his own kitchen table.
