Parenting Teens (12.5-15.5 years)

If you’re having frequent or intense arguments with your teen, we can help you achieve a more positive environment in your home.

  • Better manage difficult behaviors
  • Create reasonable expectations for their teen
  • Establish rules their teen is likely to follow
  • Set effective consequences to keep your teen safe
  • Navigate teen friendships
