Managing the Mischief – Keeping our teens safe

Tightening things up now and for the summer ahead…

 

Parents know that the teen years also come with a certain amount of risk taking. Teens experiment with substances, sneak around, and get into trouble. Finding out YOU teen is getting into mischief can feel like the roof is caving in. It can feel both scary and infuriating – and how we respond matters.

 

In this power workshop, parents will learn how to be the confident authority in the household, how to collaborate with their teens in a way that develops their critical thinking, self-reflection, and decision-making skills, and tools for being ever more intentional with how we are responding when our kids get into mischief.

 

“I want you to absorb when I tell you how good you are—so present, and so real—so responsive to what is happening at the moment.” – Dr. Jane Nelsen, author of Positive Discipline

What you will take away from the workshop:

 

• A deeper understanding of the teen brain. This is big because when we have an understanding of how our kids brain we are better at NOT taking their behavior personally and staying focused on solutions.
  
• Practices for embodying your confident authority. Kindness and firmness is where it’s at while parenting through the teen years. Knowing how to access kind and firm as a way of being makes a huge difference in how our teens experience us.

• Communication skills that are encouraging and promote connection. Relationship matters – how we interact, what we say and do, our energy – we are always sending messages to our kids. Being intentional and thoughtful in the ways we interact can make a huge difference.
  
• Processes for collaboration and consistency. Routines and agreements matter and gives everyone a clear picture of what is expected.
