TALKS BY IZABELLA LITTLE GATES & SALLY THORP
In the talks and workshops, Izabella and Sally give feedback on the issues being faced by adolescents and by parents, and they look at some of the helpful areas to focus on.
The feedback provided is based on the thousands of emails received from readers and through the Life Talk Forum, and from the work with schools, psychologists, other experts and related organisations.
Izabella and Sally address audiences of parents, teens, or a mix of both.
Talks and workshops for parents:
Topics covered include:
- Issues and challenges faced by teens
- Teen drinking – and what can be done about it?
- Sexual activity: what’s happening and how can parents help?
- Drugs: why are even the ‘strongest’ teens at risk?

- Parenting styles and dilemmas
- Single parenting challenges
- Boundaries and discipline
- Parties, clubs and curfew debates
- Depression, self-harm / cutting

Talks are tailored for parents of children of all ages. The earlier some of the forthcoming challenges of adolescence can be identified, the more proactive parents can be, so talks are also available for pre-school parents and teachers.
Talks for teens:
Topics include:
- Feedback received from teens about issues and challenges encountered.
- Teen drinking: what’s happening, risks etc.
- Sexual activity: the realities and avoiding being pressured into it.
- Drugs
- Coping with peer pressure.
- The avoidable situations and unnecessary heartbreak so many teens encounter. (Reasons, consequences and how to avoid some of these pitfalls.)
