The parent who seeks strategies and tools, who wants ongoing support and accountability, who prefers the structure of a class, and who wants community.

This is a parenting class for 21st century parents. The class covers different aspects of teen development–social, psychological, and  neurological.  We will address the challenges of raising a 21st century teen such as screens, school, sass, stress, and social pressure.

The crash course has two parts: the pre-recorded classes and live calls.  The lessons are downloadable, which means you can watch or listen on the go, or at home. The live calls are scheduled twice a month. Participants  submit their questions in advance, which will be answered on the calls.

Yes. The earlier you incorporate these methods, the better.
