This course is perfect for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of teen behavior, foster healthy relationships, and tackle the unique challenges that arise during these pivotal years. Over four informative modules, we will cover key topics, including an overview of teen development, strategies for building strong relationships, ways to navigate external influences, and techniques for supporting your teen’s overall growth and well-being. This is a way for you to feel successful and equipped to navigate the teen years. Parents go through stages of development too; let’s boost your confidence and abilities to make these years as fulfilling and joyful as possible.
