Parenting that meets today's needs.
Raising kids today is SO different than when you were growing up. The challenges our kids face are different, the environment in which we're raising kids is different, and our 'old, standard' parenting philosophies and practices are at best, insufficient for today's world.
But, adolescent development and the needs that accompany this growth period haven't changed - and we know so much more about it now.
The neuroscience of adolescent development in recent years has helped researchers understand the incredible changes that take place in the brain during adolescence. It's equivalent to the the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly.
Yes. That significant.
And, it's helped put teen behavior into perspective - we now know their driving needs, and why certain parenting and teacher approaches seem to work better than others.
So, our mission is to help parents understand those critical needs, see the inherent, hidden opportunities during these years, and give them the skills and support they need adjust their parenting along the way so their kids make it through their epic journey toward adulthood feeling seen, valued, and supported. With a little parental 'genius' and support, your tween's adolescent tasks will build their self-knowledge, confidence, and connection to you.
They will be able to find the best version of themselves and be prepared for their first, wobbly flights into adulthood
