Parent of a thirteen-year-old teenager  

“A parent's survival guide to dealing with teens...a handy, no-nonsense Baedeker, Stop Struggling With Your Teen addresses problems ranging from truancy, drugs and sex to overloud stereos."

Family Circle

Most parents would agree that the parent-teen relationship is unpredictable at best, so much so that it can turn family life upside down. Believe it or not, most teenagers do come out of their adolescent years right side up. But in the meantime, parents are left with feelings of guilt, anxiety and frustration.

Terrible twos? Fairly easy in comparison to the terrible teens! The terrible teens are fraught with power struggles of a giant magnitude. Chances are you have tried negative reinforcement where grounding and loss of video equipment or the car are common.  And then moving to the other extreme and using praise and bribery as well.  If so, you may be at wit’s end!

This workshop is based on the best selling book Stop Struggling With Your Teen which offers new hope for parents whose efforts have ended in defeat and anger. If you’re at the point where it's you or your teen- reading this book is essential.  

The daily dilemmas and major crises that are synonymous with parenting demand an approach that can move families from conflict to resolution. One of the hardest parts of being a parent is letting your teen make mistakes, even though the consequences might affect their future. At the same time, you have to stand your ground on important issues.

Through anecdotes, spirited interactions and  role-playing real life problems, Evonne will introduce a simple three step process to get to the heart of parent-teen conflicts. You’ll learn to strike a delicate balance between setting limits and encouraging your teen’s independence.      

Living with teens make it almost impossible to think in terms of a middle ground.  For example, have you ever lost it and grounded your teenager for life or have you ever felt it was easier to just say yes and give in because the daily battles are leaving you exhausted?

Don’t!  Evonne will help you find that middle ground, teaching you vital problem solving techniques so your teenagers will learn that with freedom and privileges comes a responsibility. She’ll help you develop an action plan and stick to your guns, so peace and harmony can be restored in the household.
