"ASK ME ANYTHING"
A Special Invitation via Your School
Raising boys right now feels more complicated than ever.
If you are fighting daily battles over the “Screen Lord,” navigating sudden drops in school motivation, or walking on eggshells around an emotional “Powder Keg,” it is easy to feel overwhelmed. When he pulls away, gives you one-word answers, or hurls hurtful words, it can feel incredibly isolating.
You are not alone, and you are not failing. We just need a new playbook.
To celebrate the launch of my brand-new book, BOYS, your school has secured free access for you to join my exclusive, live “Ask Me Anything” digital event.
During this session, we are throwing out the old command-and-control parenting scripts. I will be answering your specific questions live and sharing practical, neuroscience-backed strategies to help you step out of the daily conflict and step back into connection.
WE WILL COVER:
- How to set firm boundaries around gaming and screens without starting a war.
- The golden rule of neuroscience for handling his explosive anger.
- How to discipline in a way that builds—rather than breaks—mutual trust.
- How to stay close when he is actively trying to push you away.

Dr Justin Coulson is the co-host of the popular TV program Parental Guidance, and of Australia’s top ranked parenting podcast, The Happy Families podcast. He is author of six family and parenting books, and has helped thousands of Australian families with his advice and research.
He’s disappearing. Behind the closed door, lost in screens, making choices that keep you up at night. He’s navigating a world designed to confuse him – algorithms designed to addict him – a world parents don’t understand and can’t break into. The headlines scream crisis. They warn us that boys are in deep trouble… and it’s getting worse.
But it doesn’t have to be like this.
Dr Justin Coulson has a different story to tell. In Boys, Coulson reveals what decades of research suggests: when boys get what they actually need, they thrive. Not through force or fixing, but through connection, meaningful challenge, and someone who refuses to give up on them.
This book hands you the ‘Playbook’. It cuts through the noise with practical, research-backed strategies for the battles you’re fighting right now. Gaming. Pornography. Self-control. Friendships. School motivation. How to discipline without destroying trust. How to stay close when he’s pushing away.
But beneath the tactics lies something more powerful: a vision of masculinity worth fighting for. Boys who help others feel safer and stronger. Who create surplus value. Who become not just good men, but the best version of themselves.
