Session #1: Tuesday March 28th, 6:00pm CT
Parenting Teenagers
- Feeling confused, frightened or helpless about the choices your teen is making?
- Wanting more clarity, confidence and self-trust about how you’re navigating the constant push and pull between autonomy and dependence inherent in the teenage years?
Teenagers often feel like no-one can understand them, especially their parents.
They are dealing with hormone changes, issues of identity and sexuality, self-care, connection and autonomy.
One moment they want to be “little” and close, an and the next moment, they are pushing you away and rolling their eyes at you.
It’s disorienting, unpredictable and exhausting
Their present moment needs are constantly changing, you’re trapped in unpredictable push-pull cycles of connection and power struggles tend to increase. You may be arguing more than ever, or feeling a deep tug in your heart as your teenager withdraws silently and pulls away from you into themselves.
Join us on Tuesday March 28th to share with others about the joys and frustrations of parenting teenagers, get some strategies and insights into the complex dynamics that are typically at play during this developmental age, and get clarity and a roadmap to help you navigate these complex parenting tasks with more confidence and ease.
Session #2: Wednesday, March 29th, 6:00pm CT
Parenting Adult Children
The most common struggle that parents of adult children face, is estrangement and distance.
- Have you been trying to build a closer relationship with your adult children, but they just keep you at arm’s length?
- Do you feel like no matter how skillfully you word things, that they just keep getting triggered by you and misunderstanding your good intentions?
Join us on Wednesday, March 29th to share with others about the joys and frustrations of trying to connect with your adult children, get some strategies and insights into the complex dynamics that are typically at play now that they are launched and independent from you, and get clarity and a roadmap to help you navigate this new kind of relationship with more confidence and ease.

What if I don't have teenagers or adult children?
The general principles we cover will apply to all ages from infants to adult children. However, the particular strategies and implementation of these principles will look different from one developmental stage to the next, and we will talk about those differences during our sessions. You are more than welcome to attend either or both application sessions, even if you don’t have children at those particular developmental ages.
What's the time investment?
Each session is 90 minutes long, and will consist of new material specific to that developmental age. The majority of the time will be spent on fielding questions and applying principles to the unique challenges faced by parents with children at these developmental stages.
What if I want more personalized support?
However, if you need personalized support, you are welcome to book a private consultation with me, and we can work through whatever situation you are facing. (Note that private consultations are not included with the workshop registration fee.)
