Have you ever caught yourself wanting to bang your head against the wall, thinking, “How on earth did I end up here again?”

You’re a smart, positive parent. You know constant nagging isn’t the way to connect with your kids—especially those tweens and teens. And yet... there you are, suddenly in full-on interrogator mode.

Because seriously—how else are we supposed to stay in their world when they’re surly all the time? How else can we guide them when it feels like their friends’ opinions matter way more than ours?

The truth is, communicating with tweens and teens takes a slightly different approach. (Spoiler alert: it’s not about tightening our grip.)

Luckily, Nicole Schwarz is here to break it all down. Check it out:

Tween & Teen Communication Masterclass

Our featured masterclass for you this week is the Tween & Teen Communication Masterclass with Michelle Icard based on the book Fourteen Talks by Age Fourteen: The Essential Conversations You Need to Have with Your Kids Before They Start High School.

In this masterclass Michelle shares with us:

• How to keep your tween/teen engaged in open communication during the years when they may naturally pull away;
• How to effectively talk to kids about balancing their need for independence with responsibility and maturity;
• How to bring up uncomfortable topics about tween/teen behavior in a way that actually encourages conversation;
• And so much more!
  

This masterclass is for you if you are interested in mental health and wellness, and curious about how understanding your brain and your child's brain can help you be a good parent.
