Parent of teens/young adults empowerment event!!!
Hey there, parents!
- Are you having a hard time picturing your teen/young adult’s future?
- Feeling a little out of touch with what actually motivates them?
- Are their next steps after school or university seeming a little blurry?
- Do you find yourself saying ‘back in my day…’?
- Do you dread being asked the question ‘what is your son/daughter doing after they graduate?’
- Want to build a strong relationship during the transition period from child to young adult?
- Do you JUST need a fresh perspective?
If this sounds like you, make sure you don’t miss this evening of learning and engaging with invaluable insights and practical takeaways to guide you on your parenting journey. One of the unique things about this event is that you will gain knowledge from a parent and a ‘young-er person’, to round off your experience in a more holistic and dynamic way.
Staci McLean, author of ‘I would love to but…overcoming your excuses to live the life you want’ and other books, is a mother of two teenage boys. When she was growing up, Staci was your classic ‘off the rails’ teenager but managed to turn her life around and go on to become a successful author, speaker, and life coach for emotional health, motivation, and happiness. She will kick off our evening by sharing her insights and strategies for:
- Providing a solid foundation for your teen so that they can go out into the world full of life
- The importance of modelling a happy life; addressing your motivations, contributions, and fun-factor scale
- Understanding this changing world and shifting your perspective to engage with your teen
Ellie Bambury, author of ‘The Big Sister Project’ was the classic ‘do well in school and university and tick all the boxes’, but then zig-zagged her way through different roles and experiences to eventually become a life coach and mentor for 16-24-year olds - which, looking back, she said has always been her calling. She will take you on a journey through the second half of the evening where you will learn about:
- Reframing your experiences with your teen so that you’ll both become self-empowered, and connected to your evolving journey (however messy it might look right now!)
- Fearlessly guiding your teen through the tough times of peer pressure, navigating external influences, and making ‘life’ decisions
- Feeling at ease, staying in touch, and creating a memorable experience for you and your teen as they move onwards and upwards in their lives
This is just touching the surface of what is promised to be an uplifting, rewarding, and meaningful evening, where you will go home excited about having the privilege to be a parent to teenagers. There’s no need to feel stuck, scared, stressed, or stupid… you’ve got this, and we’ve got you!
