Hi Sonay 😊. Happy to have you join the community. We are a fairly new community and just getting started. This community is for parents of teens and offers ways to better connect with your teen through improved mental and physical well being. Online courses on various parent-teen topics are in the works, and in the meantime, feel free to post any questions you have so we can discuss as a community. As parents of teens we are here to help each other ❤️ What topics would you be interested in hearing about in this community?

Mindful Monday Moment for Parents 🌟

Ever find yourself reacting rather than responding to your teen? 🤔 Take a mindful minute today to breathe and reflect. Before you react, pause and ask yourself, “Is my response driven by love and understanding?” To keep it simple, reflect before you react ⭐️ Neuroscience shows that mindfulness can reduce stress and improve communication. Let’s start the week with a commitment to mindful parenting! Share your experiences or challenges below. How do you stay present with your kids?

@Andrea Foster Such great skills to learn and teach your kids Andrea! The more they understand about their feelings the better they can communicate those feelings in healthy ways. So good for self regulation and for relationships. It’s a gift you are giving your kids

Break for connection 🤗

I have been working hard these past few days and decided to take a break for connection today. We need to be intentional about nurturing our connections with our teens (or any relationship for that matter!) So today is all about having fun and spending quality time. We are going to a Wipeout style water park (remember the tv show.. it’s kinda like that 🤪). Hopefully I come back in one piece! What will you be doing to connect this weekend?

@Andrea Foster Hi Andrea 😊. So glad to have you here! The transition from high school to college is a tough one for parents and kids. So much change and uncertainty as they branch out and start to form a new path for themselves. That’s exactly what this community is for. To know that you are not alone in your parenting journey and that we are here to support each other ❤️

Q & A

I am curious

I am the only selfparenter here🥳😅 What age are your kids? What are your challenges? I would love to get to know you all better💙🔥 I am that kind of person that shows oftentimes kids how to be kid again 😅 as a bunch of them are already so grown up and forget about the playpart 🥳🥳🥳
