As parents we want our children to succeed, to thrive. But they are individuals different from us, and we can't control all that happens to them or how they react.
This session focuses on helping parents understand how memories impact the behaviors they are experiencing with their children, and how to use this knowledge to help them grow into their potential as adults.
Youth face very real issues when communicating with the adults in their lives. Each wants to be heard and taken seriously, but struggle finding productive ways to communicate.
During this interactive session, we’ll identify barriers youth and adults face when communicating, delve into the impact memories, genetics, and development have on behavior and communication, and discuss the opportunity you have to empower productive communication.
Why do teens make the choices they do? What could they possibly be thinking? How can we guide them into adulthood with the tools they need to lead healthy, productive lives?
In this interactive session, we’ll explore the development, neuroscience, and internal and external factors that impact teen choices and behavior…
So that you can better understand where your teen is coming from, why they are making the choices they are making.
You’ll also gain a methodology for cultivating positive, productive communication and
relationship with your teens. And a tool for communicating and reaching agreements through the teen years and beyond.
