Our Masterclasses are live and interactive with a Q&A
and attendees receive a copy of the slides, a recording, transcript and a resources guide.
This means you can watch later if you're unable to attend live, at your own pace, in your own time!
Upcoming live masterclass
A spacious, presentation with live Q&A with Kristy.
The PDA parent raising the PDA child
Live masterclass with Kristy Forbes
Saturday 26 September 2026
10:00 am–12:00 pm AEST (Melbourne time)
2 hours, including dedicated question time
$59 AUD
For PDA parents, families and professionals exploring what happens when a child’s needs register as demands within a parent’s own nervous system, even alongside fierce love and commitment.
We’ll explore:
- why children’s needs may register as demands, even when parents deeply want to meet them
- what parental demand avoidance feels like from the inside
- why obligation, urgency and emotional importance can intensify avoidance
- what happens when parent and child are both waiting for the other to move first
- ways to reduce pressure without abandoning either person
- language for conversations with partners, relatives and professionals
Included: a certificate of completion, lifetime access to the recording, slides and resources, captions and a transcript.
There is no pressure to attend live. The recording and resources will be sent afterwards for revisiting at any pace. The session is presentation-style: cameras and microphones remain off, with optional chat and question participation.
