Description

Do you want to know how to parent a defiant teenager or a difficult adolescent?Do you want to know how to parent your adolescent without yelling, shouting, threats, bribes or punishment?Do you want to know how to train your adolescent not to deviate from family values?Do you want to know how to parent without shame, guilt, anger or frustration?Do you want to know how to raise a 21st -century teen/tween using unconventional parenting tools and DIY approaches to everyday parenting scenarios?Do you want to be taken on an evolutionary mindset shift that fosters the nurturing of an open and friendly relationship between you and your adolescent?If you answered YES! to any of those questions then this course is for you.In the course of my work, I have found that the recurring challenges encountered by every generation of adolescent managers, including parents, teachers, school administrators and counsellors, with respect to successful adolescent management, have been occasioned by gaps in the evolution of tools appropriate to the given generation of adolescents. An unconventional generation of adolescents needs unconventional management strategies. These gaps in adolescent management strategies have further widened the gulf between adolescents and their managers while perpetuating adolescent-related social problems such as depression, drug addiction, risky sexual behaviours, violence and suicide.ENGAGING THE WORLD OF ADOLESCENCE is the first of a four-part series. This course covers seven (7) Big Modules and over 60 lessons; discoveries that will leave an appreciable mark in your relationship with your adolescent permanently because there are secrets and strategies in there, that will help you understand why they act the way they do, introduce you to the concept of the Adolescent Wellness Quotient (AWe-Q), determine if your adolescent is thriving in all the dimensions of wellness, understand the adolescent ecosystem, introduce you to your Collaborators and Competitors among others. Most importantly, you will have access to free ebooks to guide you on parenting in this 21st-century social-driven clime!
