“You just DON’T Understand!” your teenager screams at you through tears and gritted teeth. Sometimes it’s unclear if your 12-year-old will ever come out of their room or look up from their video game. You’re afraid to call them down for dinner because of the reaction it may elicit. It’s mind bending to think that you – the parent – have to walk on eggshells just to keep the peace. You know it’s hard to be a teenager these days. But it feels like there’s such a divide, you don’t even know how to begin to help them. Once you lose your temper, the whole house descends into chaos. You’d do anything to get through to them.
You can get through – with the right support. I’ll help you navigate the behavior issues, substance experimentation, the pitfalls of social media, and everything in between. With three children of my own and years of experience doing this work, I can help you develop the necessary skills to restore communication and deepen your connection with your teen.
Your teenager deserves you at your best, and you deserve to be happy. Our work together will give you the relaxed confidence and authority you need to pilot your family through this difficult period. You don’t have to do this alone. Call me today for a free consultation.
