Supporting Tweens & Teens with Emotions
Supporting Tweens and Teens is a three-part online lunchtime workshop series designed for busy parents and caregivers who want to strengthen their relationship with the adolescents in their lives.
In this season of rapid growth, emotional highs and lows, and shifting identity, tweens and teens need steady connection more than ever. But knowing how to show up—without fixing, hovering, or pulling away—can be hard.
Each 45-minute session offers practical tools rooted in emotional literacy, connection-based parenting, and real-life experience. Together, we’ll explore how to support your adolescent’s development without losing yourself in the process. You'll learn how to recognize emotional patterns, respond instead of react, and create a safe space for your teen to be seen and heard.
There’s no prep required—just bring your lunch, your questions, and your heart. Expect real talk, real strategies, and a judgment-free community that gets what it’s like to parent through the tween and teen years.
Show up, learn something new, and leave feeling more confident, connected, and supported.

Supporting Tweens and Teens: A 3-Part Series for Parents and Caregivers (Based on the work of John Gottman)
Session 1: Understanding Emotions—Theirs and Yours
Learn how adolescent brain development impacts emotional responses and behavior. We’ll explore common emotional triggers for both teens and adults, and how to recognize what’s underneath big feelings. Walk away with simple tools to help you stay steady while your teen rides the waves.
Session 2: Communication That Builds Connection
Discover strategies for creating open, judgment-free dialogue with your tween or teen. We’ll practice language that invites trust, de-escalates tension, and makes your teen feel safe, even during tough conversations. Learn how to listen in a way that makes them want to keep talking.
Session 3: Coaching Through the Hard Moments
Shift from managing behavior to coaching your teen through challenges. We’ll cover how to support emotional regulation, encourage accountability without shame, and model resilience. This session focuses on practical ways to guide—not rescue—your child as they learn to navigate their own life.
For best results, get plenty of sleep and come ready to share your experiences. You are welcome to repeat sessions as well, but attending one of each is a great starting place.
Schedule is rotating with the first of the series on May 14, June 4, June 25, and July 16
Charged $13 each week as a subscription. With subscription, you are welcome to come back and redo sessions as desired!
