Coaching for Parents of Teen and Tween Girls
Parents of tweens and teens sometimes need help supporting their kids.
Adolescence is a huge period of social, emotional, neurological, and physical growth. And growth means change!
During these years, kids form and evolve their own opinions, values, and sense of self; when those are different from their parents’ expectations or from peers, there may be conflict, confusion, or isolation.
