  • Do you want to ensure your teen's growth and success?

  • Are you stressed because your teen does not respect you or listen to you?

  • Is your teenager OK, but you have concerns about the relationship?

  • Do your young adults virtually ignore you? (except when they need something.)

  • Does your own home feel like a war zone and chaos all the time?

  • Is your young adult suffering from low self esteem and lack of confidence?

  • Are you awake at night wondering what might happen to your teenager?
  • Does communicating with your young adult feel like you're talking to a wall? (or worse)

  • Do you want to prevent drug use, alcohol abuse and sexual promiscuity?

  • Is your formerly-happy teen struggling to communicate and depressed?

  • Does Parent – Teen communication need help or seem impossible?

  • Are you seeing sudden or gradual changes that concern you?
