About This Workshop

We all want our kids to grow up to be capable, competent people who can find their own way in the world. But how do you help them get there? How do you know when tweens and teens are ready to do things on their own? 

A strong positive relationship with your tween or teen is the basis of cooperation and helping them stay safe. Parents often think that if they find the just right punishment, their kids will cooperate. This myth can get in the way of building a positive connection with your child and keeping it strong even as they grow more independent. This class will help you recognize the importance of the parent-child connection to help teens stay safe as they explore the world.
