Shift your parenting to stay connected
Are you doomed to be separated from your child by their mood swings and rejection of your authority?
Everywhere you turn, people warn you that it’s going to get tough. Meanwhile, the danger from poor decisions increases while your influence seems to decrease.
You would love to feel prepared for this new season, so you can respond with confidence rather than react with emotion. You want to feel hopeful and equipped - not foggy and afraid.
Your snuggly child is leaving the warm safe bubble of your home and you aren't sure how to protect them.
You don't have to be caught off guard!
This course will help you:
+ Choose helpful language and a tone of voice that lowers the tension when things heat up.
+ Be better prepared than your mom was for the stressful moments of adolescence.
+ Understand your changing role so you don't make the drama worse.
+ Find your calm, even when your child is serving up a disrespectful attitude.
+ Be at ease with the separation your child is demanding because you know what behavior changes are normal and expected.
+ Know how to approach a teen so they feel more open to your influence.
Heads Up: If you are brand-new to the idea of responsive, respectful parenting, welcome!! Please note that I will not cover the foundational concepts of gentle parenting during this workshop found in KIND Class.
If your child is already over 12 years old and your gentle parenting journey is just beginning, TWEENS & TEENS class will not be comprehensive enough. Take KIND class to further support your journey. I also highly recommend you work with a family therapist to trouble shoot your unique situation and help with repair.
What other parents are saying about my classes:
"I absolutely, 1000% would recommend this class. I found it very well organized, and I think everything Mary taught us in the class was modeled so well by her during the class and also on her Instagram account - remain calm, soft and open. Have a sense of play and give encouragement generously. Thank you!”
—Cara
"I would highly recommend this course. It offers incredible insight that shows all parents practical and easy ways to improve relationships with their children. What we all want. It shows how to have grace and a quiet strength to disarm “spicy” children. I love that she includes play as a child’s/teens love language.”
—Kate
"Mary teaches this in such a non-judgemental way and emphasized the parents role in keeping things calm and staying in control but ways to do this that were concrete, actionable, and doable. Great ideas, easy to pick one and start with, and lots of great examples and resources for further information and reading. THANK YOU MARY!”
—Jennifer

Nope. While I personally identify as a deconstructing, radically affirming Christian, no religious affiliation is specifically associated with this class. I do believe parents need the benefits that come with opening up to a higher power, but how you define that is up to you.
