Parenting Teens Wisely
For parents of adolescents
who want to feel peaceful,
confident, and wise.
JAN CARDEN, LCSW
Do you worry about your teen’s wellbeing?
Do you find that things you used to do to help your child no longer work?
Do you find yourself reacting to your teen in ways that you regret?
Do you get angry and resentful and then feel guilty about feeling that way?
Do you find yourself sometimes feeling loving and patient than other times feeling angry and in despair?
Do you worry that you might not be doing it right?
Many teens lack the ability to navigate their emotions, turning to behaviors that interfere with their ability to live their best life.
Parents want to be helpful but many are baffled when all their best efforts to help their teen don’t seem to work.
PARENTING TEENS WISELY
After two decades as an adolescent therapist, I have shifted my work to supporting and validating parents. I teach strategies to increase a teen’s resilience and skillfulness, while also cultivating a more harmonious parent-teen relationship. Click here to learn about my story.

After working with me, parents say that their teens respond more positively, they experience greater connection, and they feel more confident in their parenting.
