Positive Discipline: That Actually Works for Teens
Discover proven positive discipline strategies that transform challenging teenage behaviors into opportunities for growth. This talk reveals how parents can build closer relationships with their middle and high schoolers while teaching essential life skills like problem-solving, accountability, and critical thinking.
Parents will learn practical techniques to move beyond punishment and power struggles, developing a growth-oriented parenting mindset that prepares teens for real-world success. Walk away with tools to create mutual respect, strengthen family bonds, and raise confident, capable young adults who make better decisions—even when you’re not watching.
The Teen Brain Explained: Why They Do What They Do
Everything changes when you understand what’s actually happening inside your teenager’s brain. This talk transforms frustration into empathy by revealing the neuroscience behind baffling teen behaviors—from risky decisions and emotional outbursts to sleeping until noon.
When you understand the “why,” you stop taking it personally and start responding with strategies that are helpful.
Learn brain-based communication tools: keeping instructions simple, timing conversations strategically, and leveraging their strengths instead of fighting their wiring. You’ll gain practical techniques for working with the teen brain, not against it, reducing conflict while supporting healthy development.
The Gift of Screen Limits: Preparing Teens for a Healthy Digital Life
Screen time doesn’t have to be a battleground. This talk shows parents how thoughtful screen limits today create the foundation for digitally balanced teens tomorrow. Learn why boundaries aren’t about control—they’re about collaboration, teaching self-regulation, and building lifelong healthy tech habits.
Discover how to normalize conversations about screens in your home, making digital wellness a regular topic rather than a source of conflict. You’ll learn strategies for setting age-appropriate limits that evolve as your children grow, adapting to their developmental needs and increasing independence. Through regular family check-ins, you’ll create accountability systems that teach teens to monitor their own screen use and make better choices.
From Panic to Partnership: Moving Beyond Fear When Teens Take Risks
When your teen starts taking risks, fear is natural—but panic-driven parenting pushes them away exactly when they need you most. This workshop transforms how you respond to risky teen behavior, shifting from control and fear to partnership and influence.
Learn how to establish clear personal boundaries that protect your values without destroying trust, and discover communication strategies that keep the door open even during scary moments. You’ll explore the power of curiosity over criticism—asking questions that invite honesty rather than judgment that shuts teens down. Master the art of listening to understand, not just to respond or lecture, creating a safe space where teens actually want to talk about their choices.
When you move from panic to partnership, you maintain influence during the years when it matters most.
Connection Is Your Superpower: How Relationship Shapes Teen Behavior
The strongest influence you have with your teenager isn’t control—it’s connection. This talk reveals how intentional relationship-building shapes teen behavior far more effectively than rules or consequences ever could.
Learn how to create meaningful one-on-one time that builds trust, use encouragement strategies that strengthen confidence, and identify your teen’s unique strengths—even through the attitude and eye rolls. Most importantly, discover the inner work parents must do: not taking teen behavior personally. Understanding adolescent brain development helps you stay grounded when your teen pushes away, knowing it’s neuroscience, not rejection.

Positive Discipline
Dr. Jane Nelsen’s Positive Discipline parent education is based on the theories of psychologists Alfred Adler and Rudolf Dreikurs. Positive Discipline helps your child feel a sense of significance and belonging through learning important life skills of empowerment, self-reliance and cooperation. This parenting style encourages kindness and firmness at the same time.
Kindness is the way we interact and connect with our children, honoring their dignity and respecting their needs.
Firmness is the way we respect ourselves and the needs of the situation, as well as following through with what we say we are going to do.
