This class is for stressed out parents of adolescents who want to feel peaceful, confident, and wise.
See below for:
Understanding why some teens are more complicated is the first step to wise parenting. Discover how parenting strategies that may work with one teen can exacerbate problems and contribute to negative behavior patterns in a more complicated teen. Explore how wise parenting can help and create a plan to begin this more effective approach to parenting.
Because parenting a complicated teen can fuel a parent’s emotions, parents find themselves responding to their teen emotionally. For instance, they do things that they ordinarily wouldn’t do, like avoiding setting limits, or engaging in arguments. It’s common for parents of complicated teens to swing from one extreme to the other – to experience great patience and then great impatience, to feel hopeful and then hopeless, to be too lenient and then too authoritarian. Some parents discover that because of the challenges with their teen, they struggle with negative thoughts of despair or resentment and find that they seek escape themselves.
This class is designed to promote more balance, a key ingredient to wise parenting. Skills for emotional balance and for more balanced parenting will be explored.
When we respond to emotions wisely, we have a better chance of living joyfully and effectively. This class explores the benefits of emotions and focuses on strategies for navigating emotions skillfully. We will also learn the importance of reducing emotional vulnerability since this can interfere with our ability to respond wisely to emotions and to our teens.
Many teens lack the ability to navigate their emotions, turning to behaviors that interfere with their ability to live their best life. This class focuses on skills to help teens learn to navigate emotions skillfully while also helping to cultivate parent and teen connection.
Teen’s problematic behaviors are frequently their unskillful way of dealing with distress. This class offers parents tools for responding in ways that help to increase a teen’s skillful behavior and reduce a teen’s unskillful behavior. Determine a plan for responding wisely to your teen’s behaviors.
Teens’ emotions and behaviors can impact others and interfere with their ability to cultivate meaningful relationships. This class is all about relationships. Skills for cultivating more positivity, improving communication, and ensuring healthy boundaries will be examined.
Our final class reviews all the skills. Parents will review successes, identify challenges, and develop a plan to ensure lasting positive change.
