Get On The Waitlist!
My teen sat at home playing video games all the time and I couldn’t get him out of the house for the life of me. I know he loves animals and after going through the guide I asked him if he wanted to pursue that as a possible extracurricular this year. He came up with the idea of volunteering at the animal shelter after school. He had a meeting with them this week and is signed up to start 2 days per week in the fall.

The section on risk-taking was really eye-opening for me. I realized I’ve been fighting all the wrong battles and actually putting my kid MORE at risk in the process. The conversations we’ve had since going through the Guide have really helped build my trust in her and put me much more at ease in terms of what she’s doing.

A New Way of Looking at Teens

The teen impulse to break the status quo and do things that occasionally make us want to pull our hair out is not a flaw in their design; it’s actually a requirement for their growth. If our teens sense that we’re trying to ‘fix’ them they’ll be immediately resistant to working with us. 

This course lays the groundwork for how to approach teens in a way that helps us: 

  • Communicate with them more effectively 
  • Improve our ability to hear them and be heard by them 
  • Help them build healthy habits
  • Lead them toward healthy risks and away from unhealthy risks
  • Motivate them
  • Show more patience and tolerance toward them 
  • And, in general, positively influence their long-term growth and development

The Teen Brain’s Superpower

When parents and teens butt heads, there’s usually a developmental reason for it. In this section, we dig into how to see things like teens pulling away and being combative, as indicators that they’re going through a developmental stage. When we learn to recognize and support their needs, everybody wins. 

This section covers:

  • The fundamentals of adolescent brain development
  • What the teen brain’s superpower is
  • Why teens have this superpower
  • What specific opportunities this presents
  • And how to help the adolescents in our lives take advantage of these opportunities

This section covers:

  • How the adolescent reward system works differently than in adults 
  • How to encourage healthy behaviors in teens

Executive Functions: Nurturing Your Teen’s Superpower!

Teens with strong executive functions go on to have healthier relationships, better-paying jobs, fewer issues with substance abuse, and higher levels of reported happiness. We talk about prefrontal cortex development, where their executive functions and personality live.

This section covers:

  • What you need to know about teen behavior, psychology, and development. 
  • Tips and tricks you and your teen can use to hack their behavioral centers and encourage healthy, in-the-moment, decision-making

So Many Emotions!

This section covers:
