Here’s the situation
You have this incredible, amazing teen in front of you, but somehow you are not able to communicate to them that you think they are amazing.Â
You care so deeply about them, but this somehow turns into fear and worry over how they’re handling friends, the effort they’re putting into school, and how they treat you.
Your attempts to connect and be a part of their life turns into directing them and telling them what to do.Â
You long for those days when they wanted to snuggle and tell you all the things that happened at school. Now they seem to spend most of their time sad or anxious and not coming to you.Â
The thing is:
Some of these things are just part of the adolescent years
AND
There are ways to improve connection and trust in your relationship
And to feel better about things that just aren’t going to change.
Â
What if instead:
You trusted that even though your teen is having a “bad” day and doesn't want to talk to you, it doesn’t mean that you messed up or even that they have.
No matter what your teen says or does, you have the confidence to know what to say and not freak out, most of the time.
You are able to let your teen know that you see and hear them, no matter how anxious or depressed they seem.
You develop a way to relate with your teen so they don’t feel like they have to perform or prove themselves to be accepted by you.
The Solution is a Rooted Relationship
Rooted in compassion, curiosity and connection
Compassion comes from:
- Understanding your teens brain better
- Giving space for your own stories of worry
- Knowing why, how and when to set boundaries
Connection Emerges when:
- You can understand key concepts of attachment theory and apply them
- You understand practical skills that create connection and acceptance
- Your role as a parent is more attached to creating safety than results
Curiosity blossoms when:
- You are able to stay calm even when your teen is freaking out or ignoring you
- You can process the emotions that come up in the moment

When you show up as the parent you want to, it impacts how your teen responds
When you show up curious, compassionate and connected, here are some possible scenarios:
- Your daughter will come to you at 10 pm on a Tuesday to tell you all about the days friend drama
- Your son will look up from his phone on the way to school to tell you something that happened at the football game last night
- You'll get a text from your teen saying, "Thanks for helping me", or "Do you want to go for a walk?"
After living with anxious, depressed and even suicidal teens in my own home and coaching hundreds of teens and parents, I have compiled the most important concepts and resources into a digestable, actionable, transformational course and I'm sharing it with you through my group parenting intensive "The Rooted Relationship" where you will learn to be the strong, grounded parent that your teen needs you to be.
You will access compassion, curiosity, and connection, 3 essential ingredients for showing up as the parent you want to be and create life long connection with your teen.
