Parent-Teen Bond Builder Audit
Your Personalised Roadmap to Connection
Because the relationship you have with your teen today shapes the adult they'll become tomorrow.
You might be here because:
Your once-close relationship feels like it's slipping away
Conversations have become careful negotiations instead of real connection
You're doing okay, but you sense there's room for something deeper
The teenage years loom ahead, and you want to build a strong foundation now
You love your teen fiercely — and you're willing to do the work to show it
Maybe you've already tried:
Reading parenting books that don't quite fit your family's rhythm
Following one-size-fits-all advice that leaves you feeling more confused
Asking other parents for tips (only to realise their teen isn't your teen)
Hoping time will smooth things over
Second-guessing yourself more than you'd like to admit
Here's what we know to be true:
Every parent-teen relationship is unique. And every one of them deserves intentional care.
Whether you're navigating stormy seas or simply want to strengthen what's already working, your bond with your teen needs more than generic advice.
It needs you — equipped, confident, and supported.
What This Is
The Parent-Teen Bond Builder Audit is a personalised, heart-led assessment of your unique parent-teen relationship, followed by a tailored blueprint of strategies that actually fit your family.
This isn't about fixing what's broken. It's about understanding what's real, honoring what's working, and gently shifting what isn't.
How It Works
Step 1: You Share Your Story. Complete a thoughtful online questionnaire at your own pace. These aren't surface-level questions — they're designed to help you reflect deeply on your relationship, your communication patterns, your hopes, and your challenges.
Step 2: I Listen & Analyse. Within five days of your submission, Enda will carefully review your responses and craft a personalised strategy blueprint just for you.
Step 3: You Receive Your Roadmap. Your blueprint will include:
An honest analysis of your current parent-teen dynamics
Specific communication patterns Enda has noticed
Practical, research-informed strategies tailored to your family
Clear next steps you can begin implementing right away
What Makes This Assessment Different
It's Like a Heartfelt Conversation
These questions aren't clinical or cold. They're designed to help you explore what's really happening — the daily moments that bring you joy or frustration, the conversations that leave you wondering if you got it right, the times when connection feels just out of reach.
We Look at the Whole Picture
It's not just about what's happening now. We explore patterns, triggers, strengths, and missed opportunities for connection. This is about understanding your unique parent-teen dynamic in all its complexity.
It's Personal Because Your Family Is
Your relationship with your teen isn't like anyone else's — and this assessment honours that. Whether you're struggling or thriving, the questions meet you where you are and help you reflect on where you'd like to be.
Your Answers Shape Your Blueprint
The more you share, the more support Enda can offer. Think of this as your chance to be truly seen — your hopes, your fears, your wins, your worries. There's no judgment here. Just understanding.
You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

You Might Be Wondering...
"Will this really make a difference?" Yes — if you're willing to show up honestly and implement the strategies.
Change doesn't happen overnight, but clarity and direction? That starts the moment you begin.
"Haven't I tried everything already?" You've tried everything generic. This is tailored to you, your teen, and your family's specific dynamics.
That's the difference.
"Is it worth the investment?" The relationship you have with your teen will shape the rest of both your lives.
Investing in that bond now is one of the most important things you can do.

This audit is for you if:
You're parenting a teen (or pre-teen) and want to strengthen your bond
You're open to honest reflection about your relationship
You're ready to move beyond blame and into strategy
You value evidence-informed approaches rooted in compassion
You're willing to do the inner and outer work required for change
This audit is led by Enda Gilbert, an award-winning parent and burnout coach, a Certified Parental Burnout Practitioner, and a school leader with 30 years in education and a Master's degree, who has supported hundreds of families.

When Parents Thrive, Children Flourish

You don't have to navigate this alone. You don't have to keep guessing. You don't have to settle for "good enough" when connection is possible.

Let's build that together.

Meet Enda Gilbert
CEO & Founder | Award-Winning Parent & Burnout Coach | Certified Parental Burnout Practitioner|Educator
With 30 years of experience in education and over a decade in school leadership, I currently lead a dynamic team of literacy specialists. I hold a Master’s in Education, specialising in Teaching English as a Second Language, Special Needs, and Learning Difficulties, and have supported hundreds of families and educators as they navigate the complex intersections of language, learning, and wellbeing.
But beyond the titles and credentials, I’m also a mother. A burnout survivor. A woman who knows what it feels like to carry the mental load, juggle expectations, and pour from an empty cup.
That’s why I created Ebb&Flow Coaching and Inclusive Learning — a heart-led space where parenting meets purpose, and learning meets understanding.
My mission is to help you find clarity, reclaim calm, and honour your child’s unique journey, without sacrificing your own wellbeing in the process.
This is the heartbeat of everything I do.
She’s also the host of the Parent-Teen Bond Simplified podcast — a heartfelt, practical space where parents raising teens find calm conversations, relatable stories, and research-informed strategies to navigate the chaos and reconnect with their why.
The Journey, in Their Words
Clare
Before Enda's coaching, I felt lost connecting with my 15-year-old. Our communication had broken down, and nothing I tried worked anymore.
Enda guided me towards compassionate parenting strategies that actually fit us. I learned to reconnect authentically and lovingly, in a way that works for both of us.
Her approach was compassionate, non-judgmental, and deeply encouraging. I've grown as a parent and as a person. My relationship with my daughter has transformed, and I feel grounded even in challenging moments.
Samantha
My abusive childhood impacted how I showed up as a mother and partner. The intense mindset sessions with Enda taught me how to let go of the baggage weighing me down and preventing me from showing up as ME. The other day, my teenage son said," I love the new mum". Our bond is stronger, and self-care is my newfound friend. I don't panic if the washing is not done for a day or the bathroom needs to be cleaned. I am more energetic and love life.
Linda
As a single parent, I felt overwhelmed when my daughter hit an identity crisis. Daily heated arguments. Defiance. Grades dropping. I didn't know how to reach her.
Enda shifted everything. She helped me adopt a compassion-centred approach and understand the pressure my daughter faced to fit in. I learned conflict resolution, boundary-setting with compassion, and how to stop making everything about me.
I still hear Enda's words: 'It's not about you. Don't take it personally.' That grounded me and transformed our relationship. It's still a work in progress, but I finally have the skills to support her.
