Managing the Mischief – Keeping our teens safe

Tightening things up for the summer

 

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
