Helaina has stellar knowledge of the young mind. She guides parents to manage teen behavior with a mix of consistency, detachment, understanding, and curiousity. After working with her, I learned how to give structure, love and boundaries. Her sensible but not always obvious strategies have improved our relationship dramatically.

Prior to working with Tame the Teen, I struggled with my sons: the more I tried to “help,” the worse things got. I was managing my sons. Now, I learned how to set expectations and be consistent, and also to step back and let my sons become responsible. I nag them less and they cooperate more. My sons are more independent and empowered, and I am more confident and calm.
