The teenage brain is fascinating; many parents yearn to understand it, but rarely do. Especially in today’s world where 45% of teens report near-constant use of the internet and would rather look at a screen than communicate with their parents.

As a High School teacher for over 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with hundreds of teenagers from all walks of life. Through a combination of teaching, research, and 1:1 coaching, I’ve come to understand how they operate, what they value in relationships, and what they think of their parents. I’ve also developed tools and tactics to help parents open up healthy communication and improve their relationships.

Having a fulfilling relationship with your teen is possible, but it takes work.

In my group speaking sessions, I give parents tools and tips they can start using immediately to improve their relationships. I help them understand the dynamics of parent/teen communication and what it takes to move past challenges that block them from achieving the fulfilling relationship they’ve always dreamed of.

If you are a parent-focused group or organization, my presentation, “How To Bring Peace To The Turbulent Teenage Years &

Turn Those Painful Arguments Into Meaningful Conversations” is an invaluable gift for your members. Help them learn the fundamental tools and techniques to break down walls, open up communication, and reap the benefits of healthy and rewarding relationships with their teenagers.
