setting your teenage daughter up for success

Bringing up teenagers is complicated: empowerment messages and impressive achievements are everywhere, yet depression and anxiety are very real threats. All teens worry and feel stressed at times, but when their over worrying impacts them in ways that limit their life and lead to avoidance of certain situations or activities, it’s time to do something. Parents can guide their teens to focus on changing their response to life challenges, removing unwanted obstacles and habits in order to move forward. Teens can become more productive at home and in school when they develop the ability to focus clearly on goals, problem solving, and making adjustments without being ruled by stress, anxiety, or worry. Learn to help your teen become their best self in spite of it all.

More than previous generations, today’s teens are facing a daunting range of stressors that put them at risk for a range of serious issues, including poor academic performance, self-destructive behaviors, substance abuse, anxiety, and depression. Parents everywhere struggle to respond appropriately to these challenging behaviors, hit-or-miss communication, and fluctuating moods we see in our teenagers. They feel frustrated, ineffective, and “locked-out” of the relationship they hoped to have with their teen.

This workshop is for parents who want bottom-line information that makes sense and offers practical advice that works. Whether your teen is struggling with academic distress, social difficulties, physical self-care, or technology overload. Parents will come away with practical advice set them up for future success. Parents will learn to:

• Understand what underlies moods and behavior

• Communicate effectively about difficult issues

• Set deliberate goals and effective strategies

• Leave with concrete ideas that you can implement in your homes

• Implement strategies to guide your teen in becoming her best self

• Discover the skills necessary for today’s teens future success

emotion coaching for parents

Parents have a tremendous opportunity to influence their child’s emotional development, regardless of age. Specifically, parents can “coach” their children to become aware of their emotions and regulate their feelings more easily.  Emotion Coaching is a 5-step method that builds emotional intelligence and resilience. A wealth of research has shown those children of parents who take on the role of “emotion coach” function much better in a number of areas, including academic performance, social skills and physical & mental health. These children also experience fewer “negative” emotions overall and develop the ability to become more independent.

Emotion Coaching is a parenting technique that helps children understand their feelings. When parents Emotion Coach, their children learn how emotions work and how to react to feelings in healthy ways.

Emotion Coaching starts by recognizing your child’s feelings. Many parents are able to see the positive emotions a child expresses but drawing close to a child who is angry or sad can take some practice. While it takes effort to teach your child about feelings and appropriate behaviors, it is time well spent. Your relationship with your child will be stronger and your child will be more prepared for the challenges life can bring.

Research shows that children who understand their feelings and learn about their emotions have these advantages:

• They form stronger friendships with other children.

• They calm themselves down more quickly when they get upset.

• They handle their moods better and have fewer negative emotions.

• They are more emotionally resilient

• They have more positive feelings

• They do better in school.

• They get sick less often.

• They make good choices.

the new science of the teenage brain

Many parents do not understand why their teenagers occasionally behave in an impulsive, irrational, or dangerous way. At times, it seems like they don’t think things through or fully consider the consequences of their actions. Adolescents differ from adults in the way they behave, solve problems, and make decisions. There is a biological explanation for this difference. Studies have shown that brains continue to mature and develop throughout childhood and adolescence and well into early adulthood. This seminar is a revolutionary look at the science of the adolescent brain, providing remarkable insights that translate into practical advice for both parents and teenagers.

Pictures of the brain in action show that adolescents’ brains function differently than adults when decision-making and problem solving. Their actions are guided more by the amygdala (the emotional brain) and less by the frontal cortex (the thinking brain).

Based on the stage of their brain development, adolescents are more likely to: 

• act on impulse

• misread or misinterpret social cues and emotions

• get into accidents of all kinds

• get involved in fights or drama

• engage in dangerous or risky behavior

Adolescents are less likely to: 

• think before they act

• pause to consider the potential consequences of their action

• modify their inappropriate behaviors

These brain differences don’t mean that young people can’t make good decisions or tell the difference between right and wrong. It also doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be held responsible for their actions. But an awareness of these differences can help parents understand, anticipate, and manage the behavior of adolescents.

700 Old Roswell Lakes Parkway
Suite 130
Roswell, GA 30076

This group is for parents with an adolescent or teen to support them with their new DBT skills and personal growth. Group participants are introduced to 5 modules of specific skills (Mindfulness, Walking the Middle Path, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation and Interpersonal Effectiveness). Parents learn that their adolescent or teen that has emotion dysregulation must be the one to make changes in his/her life. They also learn that using these skills helps them respond more effectively to their adolescent or teen, which creates opportunities for calmer communication and more consistent parenting. Another benefit of the group experience is the support and validation that the participants gain from each other and from knowing that others understand and share their concerns and experiences.

Topics covered: 

• Education about DBT

• Mindfulness Skills

• Interpersonal effectiveness Skills

• Distress Tolerance Skills

• Emotion Regulation Skills

• Middle Path Skills

• Validation

• Encouragement

• Setting realistic expectations

• Managing the family environment

• Observe your own limits

The DBT Skills Parent Training Workshops will help participants by teaching them the same DBT skills their adolescent or teen has learned. This allows parents to become more educated with the language of DBT, which can facilitate a better understanding of how to more effectively manage, communicate and relate to their adolescent or teen.Most importantly, group participants learn that their adolescent or teen  - and they - are doing the best they can in this moment with the knowledge and skills they have. Parents may also find that the skills are helpful when interacting with all of their children and in other areas of their own lives as well.

Parents are encouraged to attend each model and can join at any time.

One of the 5 DBT skills will be taught per session
with a brief overview of all the skills.

A one-time purchase of a DBT Skills workbook will be required for each family
at the price of $25.00 and can be acquired at their first meeting.
