BEING YOUR TEEN’S ALLY: 

How to be your child’s  Appreciator, Anchor, Protector and Guide throughout Adolescence

Magdalena García MA.Ed, Parent Coach

We are living in incredibly challenging times as parents. From current events to our children’s current stage of development, parenting is hard emotional work. In adolescence, we are plunged into new territory, one that is filled with the need for us to let go, while simultaneously needing to hold on. 

These are also incredibly challenging times for our children.  As we do the emotional work of parenting, our children are on their own parallel emotional journey. They are faced with opportunities and challenges that impact their emotional well being. 

Without strategies and a support system for handling the normal transitions of development and the extraordinary challenges of our time, we and our children are left with emotions too big to contain and it affects our behavior and our relationships. 

But there is hope. In this workshop, we will address the parent you want to be, the parent your child needs you to be and what gets in the way of that happening. 

You will discover:

-the 4 roles we play with our teens

-the 5 concrete things we can do as parents to help our children (and ourselves) thrive through adolescence

Do you want to create a warm, protective, sustainable relationship with your child that will help them navigate the many challenges and possibilities of adolescence? 

By addressing both your parenting mindset and adding to your parenting strategies, you will be able to build, nourish and repair a connection with your teen that will be the backbone of their healthy development, while simultaneously developing a healthier relationship with the one doing the parenting, you!
