Relationship Reset with Your Teens
When it feels like you’ve lost your teen…
The experience of feeling disconnected to your teen is real and painful for so many parents of teens. And yet this is the place where parents truly have influence. During this power workshop, learn tools for shifting the dynamic you are currently in with your adolescent, reframe misbehavior into opportunities to grow and learn, and communicate in a way that leaves everyone – you and your teen – feeling seen, heard and understood.
“You are a true gem! You’re authentic and real, warm and encouraging… You’re incredibly knowledgeable but do not “talk at” us. You create a mentor-type vibe which feels very safe, allowing participants to open up and grow. Thank you!” – Lori Kidd, parent

Creating Systems & Boundaries to Keep Teens Safe
Tightening things up for the summer
In a world where there is so much to distract and discourage our teens, it has never been more important for parents to know how to create systems and boundaries that keep them safe. 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 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

Getting a Handle on Screens
Working WITH your teens and their screens
Every parent is struggling with how to help their teen have a healthy relationship with screens. Every. Parent. It feels impossible to keep up and stay ahead of what our kids are being exposed to. In this power workshop, parents will learn the power of mentoring instead of monitoring their teens, how to normalize conversations of screen use, and what it looks like to collaborate on limits that keep kids safe. We will talk specifically about porn, sextortion and privacy, as well as where to go for more resources.

Parenting for the Season You’re In
Parenting teens with Positive Discipline is for parents of adolescents who are looking for deeper understanding of the challenges they are facing, how they may be contributing to the challenges, and tools and strategies for problem solving. Most importantly, this community is about experiencing more joy on the parenting journey.
We keep it very real – no topic is off limits. Participants are willing to get vulnerable and share about their challenges. The space created in these workshops is confidential, safe and supportive. The content centers on how to BE WITH the rough terrain of the tween and teen years, while centering the relationship we have with our kids and meeting them where they’re at – with acceptance and curiosity.
Join so many other parents in finding their Joyful Courage as we walk the sometime mild, sometimes wild parenting path. No matter the season of parenting you are in today, these workshops are designed to give you what you need to be the parent you want to be.
Kids don’t come with an instruction manual.
Wouldn’t it be so nice if they did?
We buy the books, read the blogs, listen to the podcasts and consume the content, looking for answers and the elusive formula that is going to help us with this wild ride of parenting…
And sometimes it isn’t enough.
The experts all tell you that they have the process, the 4 steps, that they hold the secret to a happy, easy-breezy family life.
What we need more of are community spaces that allow us to share and be held in the experience we are having. These workshops offer that and so much more. Parents get to step into their teens shows, learn how to get under the surface of behavior, and create and the encouraging environment their young people need during this time of their life.
What you don’t often hear is that parenting is WORK. That there are NO easy answers. There are ages and stages, yes, but each family has their own unique dynamic, and each parent comes with their own flavor of experience and beliefs that inform them as they move through the parenting journey. Thiese workshops exist to support YOU in recognizing and designing the dynamic that works for YOUR family.

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.
