You don’t have to struggle
Many parents feel overwhelmed when they hit the high school years.
There are so many things to get done. Long lists of to-dos” to get them prepared for college and/or life. It can seem scary and confusing.
There is a fine line to walk as you explain to your teen in a way that they will understand, but also listen to their concerns and plans for themselves.
Let’s stop the slamming doors, screaming and crying.
These are the last few years that you will have together, and they shouldn’t be filled with stressful days.
Discover strategies to navigate these years with less drama and the best ways to prep your teen for college and real life!

I’ve been there
I am here to share my love for teenagers with you. I am also here to share my hard fought knowledge gained from life with teenagers.
There has been at least one teen in my house since 2010, and we will have one here until 2024!
My husband and I have learned lots of lessons through these years, and there is so much to learn that it can be overwhelming!
Our youngest is in 10th grade and the oldest is 22! The trail from middle school to getting into college, and onto graduation is a long, but precious journey.
