Free Workshop: Break the Lights Off Circuit
Learn how to catch your Lights Off Move and begin restoring connection when learning pressure rises.
For parents whose children are avoiding, resisting, shutting down, struggling with school, homework, attendance or confidence.
Thursday 19th November, 8pm BST
You are in the right place if...
- learning has become loaded in your home
- your child avoids, resists, shuts down or says “I don’t care”
- school mornings, homework or attendance worries are creating pressure
- you find yourself pushing, withdrawing or escalating even though you do not want to
- you want a calmer, clearer way to help your child re-engage
In this free workshop you will learn:
- why your child’s disengagement may be a signal, not a failure
- how the Lights Off Circuit forms between you
- why your body reacts before your mind catches up
- how to recognise your Lights Off Move: Push, Withdraw or Escalate
- how to begin using the Circuit Breaker to restore connection and create more space for learning to come back online

PUSH
Remind, explain, encourage, persuade, take over, or try to get things moving.

WITHDRAW
Step back, go quiet, leave them to it, or give up for now.

ESCALATE
React faster, speak more sharply, lose it, or bring more intensity than you meant to.

Hosted by Julia Black

Want the bigger blueprint?

Julia’s book Lights On Learning is a parent’s blueprint for happy, fulfilled, curious kids.
It will help you understand why children switch off, how to see disengagement differently, and how to begin creating a family culture where learning feels more connected, creative and alive.
You do not need to read the book before the workshop. Come as you are.
