Tending the garden of adolescence: What every parent needs to know
Parenting a teen is a lot like tending a garden — planting seeds of love and guidance, nurturing with care, and weathering messy seasons while waiting for growth you can’t always see. It can feel confusing: Why do they pull away? Why so unpredictable? Am I watering too much… or not enough?
In this workshop, we’ll explore what’s happening beneath the surface in your teen’s developing brain and heart, what behaviors are natural (even when thorny), and how today’s world adds extra challenges. Most importantly, you’ll learn how to nurture growth without over-pruning — staying connected, setting healthy boundaries, and cultivating a relationship that can bloom for years to come. 🌻
