Sometimes there is a block that prevents your teen from being honest with you.

I have a secret that may surprise you.

It doesn’t work.

Your teen wants to feel like regardless of WHAT they do, you accept them for WHO they are.

Your teen is doing the best they can with the tools they have.

Give your teen your presence, not your solution.

You are a good parent trying your very best.

Experience a more joyous and meaningful holiday season.

Together, you can create new traditions with family time, meaningful connection, joy, and laughter. 

Create the relationship you always imagined.

It’s normal for teens to struggle with managing their emotions.

Encourage the behavior that will help them be the best version of themselves.

Ask your teen how they would like to celebrate.

When you change the conversation, you create a different result.

Make the time to communicate how you would like to be supported.

Together, you are better parents.

Allow your teen to express difficult feelings and then validate them.

Help your teen develop the critical life skills they need to launch with confidence.

Believe in their infinite potential.

Begin the conversation validating their feelings.
