The BFF Bootcamp: Mastering Friendships & Relationships🙋‍♂️ Boys 8 -12 & Mum | Hamilton, Brisbane
​A Mother-Son Workshop for Building Lifelong Relationship Skills 💕
​​Remember the rollercoaster of friendships at age 10? The jokes, the inside banter, the competitive games, and sometimes the stinging comments that land a little too hard.
​​Now imagine having the tools back then to navigate it all with confidence.
​Your son is at a critical age where friendship experiences shape not just their school days, but their understanding of relationships for life.
​Research shows that the friendship patterns boys develop between ages 7-12 become the blueprint for:
​​How they value themselves
​​Their future relationships
​​Their ability to set healthy boundaries
​​Their emotional resilience
​​Their sense of belonging in the world
​​Yet in today's complex social landscape, many boys are struggling:
​​67% of boys this age report feeling left out or lonely at school
​​8 in 10 mothers wish they had better tools to help their son navigate friendship challenges​
