About This Workshop

Kids who feel they can talk with their parents are less likely to engage in risky behaviors, but it’s easy to have breakdowns when talking with tweens and teens, especially about their struggles. Many of us want to help our kids feel better and even fix their problems which actually doesn’t meet their needs. In this workshop, you’ll have a chance to recognize barriers to connecting and discover strategies that will improve your communication during these confusing teen years.
