All too often we hear about the turbulent teen years but they don't have to be this way. Teens have many new challenges and decisions to make during these years but with the right guidance and support, they can do this in positive ways. In fact, they still need the guidance of their parents despite their growing independence. In other words, they need your help as they let go at the same time! This six-session program can help you learn how to do this most effectively - this is a great class for helping you better understand your teen so you can support them.

Comments from those I've supported in the classes...
"I just wanted to say that I am really enjoying this class. I have been learning so much. I actually look forward to getting off work and logging on and doing these lessons. On many nights I have stayed up way later than my usual time just because I like learning the information on here. I have never taken a class like this before and I love the way it is all presented. Thank you for your responses and taking your time to respond to my posts."
"Thanks for a very good parenting session. It has been very helpful for me to sit back and think about my actions as a parent and understand some situations where I can handle things in a different way."
“Joan's feedback to all participants was very insightful, sensitive and informative.”
“Thank you for your leadership during this class. I have left this class with a lot of wonderful and useful information for my family. I look forward to implementing more as my children get older. God bless you and thank you very much.”
