My brain is a jumble, there are so many things to say to you. About brain research; positively impacting risky teen behaviors; discipline; raising self-confident, courageous and compassionate children; modeling your values; communication that works to have teenagers listen to your point of view, (which leads to influence with your teens); the importance of their knowing you love them no matter what (which leads to influence with your teens); curiosity about what they think and how they would proceed (which leads to influence with your teens) …
But I think I want to start this blog with my belief that every one of you is doing the best job you know how to do. You love your children and want the best for them. And if you’re reading this, you’re probably a darned good parent, and you want to be better. So welcome! I believe passionately that better parents lead to better kids, and ultimately to a better world. I’m happy you’re here and I look forward to conversing with you.
Please write me below with your thoughts, challenges, or questions.
As a certified family coach, I work with parents, teens and tweens who are looking for ways to re-establish balance and communication.
More information about my background, training, and methods will be available here in the very near future.
