A GUIDE TO HELPING YOUR TEEN (OR YOUNG ADULT) LEAVE HOME WITH CONFIDENCE

7 CONVERSATIONS ABOUT DRUGS TO HAVE WITH YOUR TEEN (AND WHEN TO HAVE THEM)

5 THINGS YOU CAN START DOING RIGHT NOW THAT WILL ENCOURAGE YOUR TEEN TO CONFIDE IN YOU

I used to complain that my teen was unmotivated and never took initiative but the Motivation Masterclass had me realize that’s because I was in the habit of jumping in and doing everything for him. I’ve been transferring responsibilities to him and when he went off to college this year he created his whole packing list and managed the move into the dorm himself.

I started rephrasing my questions the way the Communication Masterclass suggests and now my daughter shares way more, and by that I mean she actually answers questions sometimes now. She does still roll her eyes at me a lot but it’s gotten way better!

Ok those all sound great, but how do I know the tools and techniques you cover will apply to me, my teen, and our unique situation?

A lot of parents think that no matter what they try it won’t work or won’t work well because their teen:

Isn’t interested in having serious conversations

Is dismissive, aloof, or argumentative

Is confused about their identity, who they are, and what they want

Isn’t responsive to anything the parent says or does

You, your teen, and your situation are unique and the challenges and frustrations you feel are unique as well.

But the information, tools, and techniques covered in our Masterclasses address teen behavior and teen motivation from the most fundamental perspective.

Understanding and applying the information and techniques in our Masterclasses will make a difference with your teen, regardless of what their specific challenges are.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ultimately, that depends on you, your teen, and your unique situation. However, most of the tools and techniques we talk about can be applied immediately. The work with our teens happens, mostly, in conversations. Most parents who apply our conversational tools report seeing immediate differences in the quality of responses they hear from their teens. Believe us, if you’re frustrated with the interactions you’re having with your teen, your teen is frustrated too. Most teens are very receptive to their parents trying a new approach with them, especially if their parents are open and honest about what they’re trying and why.
