A two-hour workshop for teenagers

Your teenager puts the phone down. Because they decided to.

Two hours, live. We don’t lecture them about screen time. We ask them one question nobody has asked them before, and they leave with one choice, written in their own hand.

Date: Sunday 11, October
Time: 12:00-2:00PM IST
Where: Online, live
Ages: 12-19
Seat: ₹999

See what happens in the two hours

Full money back within seven days. No questions asked.

The phone isn’t the problem. Who’s holding the wheel is.

Rules work for about four days. Then you are back to the same argument, and you are the only one enforcing it.

Right now

The phone sets the pace. You are both talking around it.

After two hours

Your teenager sets the pace. The phone is face down, by their choice.

What you each walk away with

One session. Two people’s lives get easier.

For your teenagerWhat they leave with

A map of their own weekWhere they actually decide, where they get some say, and where they get none.
One specific choice for the coming weekSmall, written down, and theirs. Not a rule handed to them.
A different sentence for the phone argumentSomething to say instead of shutting the door.
The workbookTheirs to keep. Nobody reads it unless they want to show you.

For youWhat changes at home

You stop being the rule-keeperThe limit came from them, so you are not the one defending it every evening.
A decision that lasts longer than four daysTeenagers keep what they chose. They wait out what was imposed.
A short note from us afterwardsThemes from the session only. Never anything about your child in particular.
Two hours offThey attend alone. You are asked not to be in the room.

Sunday 11, October 12:00-2:00PM. Full money back within seven days.

Inside the session

What actually happens, minute by minute.

Nobody is called on. Nobody has to speak. Most of the work is written.

1First 20 min
One question, written privately
They write down one thing they would change about their life. It is not read out, and nobody sees it.
2Next 25 min
The same traffic jam
Two people are stuck in the same jam. One is driving, one is a passenger. Why does only one of them get angry?
3Next 35 min
Who is holding the wheel
They map a normal week: where they decide, where they get some say, where they get none. Most teens are surprised by how little is theirs.
4Next 20 min
The trade nobody mentions
More freedom comes with more responsibility. This is the part that lands better coming from someone who is not their parent.
5Last 20 min
One area. One choice. This week.
They pick one small thing and write it down. That sheet goes home with them.

And the line they write at the end

“Phone stays downstairs after 10. My idea, not Mum’s.”

What this is not.

Worth being clear, because most parents have been sold one of these before.

A screen-time lecture
Therapy or counselling
A report on your child
A one-session fix

Before you book

How to tell your teenager about it.

This matters more than the booking. A teen who chose to come gets far more out of it than one who was sent.

Try saying this

“I found a workshop. It’s not about your phone, and it’s not a lecture. Two hours. Have a look and tell me if you want to go.”

And this

“Nobody reports back to me. Whatever you write there is yours.”

Don’t frame it as a fix for their screen time.
Don’t book it the day after an argument, as a consequence.
Don’t ask them afterwards what they wrote.

If they say no: wait a week, mention it once more, then let it go.

Our promise to you

If it doesn’t do what this page says, you get every rupee back.

Seven full days
The whole ₹999
No questions

If the workshop doesn't do what this page describes, tell us within seven days and we'll refund you in full.

We ask for this trust because the workshop is new. We have no testimonials yet and we aren’t going to borrow someone else’s. So the risk sits with us, not with you.

Not ready to book?

Take the free parent tools instead.

No cost, no call, and nothing to confirm. Written by Coach Manu for parents of teenagers. Use one tonight and decide about the workshop later.

Questions parents ask

The things you’re probably wondering.

My teenager will refuse to attend.

Many do at first. Show them this page rather than describing it yourself, and use the words above — particularly that nobody reports back to you. If they still say no, leave it a week and mention it once more. A teenager who is sent arrives defended and takes far less from the room than one who chose to come.

Will you tell me what my child said?

No. Not what they wrote, not what they said, not how they seemed. That confidentiality is the reason teenagers speak at all, and breaking it once would end the value of the work. The single exception is safety: if something suggests a young person is at risk of harm, we will act on it and involve the right adult. We tell the teenagers that too, at the start, in plain words.

Is this therapy or counselling?

No. This is coaching on choices, responsibility and self-direction. We do not diagnose, treat, or work with mental health conditions. If a teenager needs that kind of support, we say so and point towards a qualified professional.

Can I sit in?

We ask that you don't. A teenager will not speak honestly about their own choices while a parent is watching, and one silent adult changes what the whole group is willing to say. You will get a short note afterwards about what the group worked on — themes only, never individuals.

What if they don't speak at all?

That's allowed, and it's common. Nobody is called on by name and nobody is made to turn a camera on. Most of the work is written rather than spoken. A quiet teenager who fills in their sheets has done the entire workshop.

Will it reduce their screen time?

We don't promise that, because we don't control it and neither do you. What we have seen is that arguments about the phone get shorter once a teenager has somewhere else in their week that feels like theirs. If a guaranteed drop in hours is what you're after, this isn't the right workshop and we would rather say so.

Is it recorded?

Sessions are not recorded. Teenagers speak differently when they know they're being recorded.

What if we have to miss it?

Tell us at least 24 hours before and we'll move the seat to next date.

Can we get a refund?

If the workshop doesn't do what this page describes, tell us within seven days and we'll refund you in full.

One session. One question they’ve never been asked.
