Adolescence can feel overwhelming for you and your kid. It’s normal to want to just get through it as quickly as possible because of all the hormonal, emotional, physical, and social changes. Yet merely surviving adolescence with your kid deprives you of the incredible opportunity to connect with them and to shape the adult that they’ll become. In this class, your host will unpack the important brain and body changes of adolescence and guide you in how to support your kid through these changes. You’ll learn how to thrive in this adolescent stage by boosting your kid’s brain development in the areas of problem-solving, empathy, and executive functioning skills. Once the therapist has guided you through exercises and personal reflections, they'll open up the class for questions. You'll be able to ask our therapist anything, anonymously. Note: your attendance is completely anonymous and there is no audio or video required to ask questions. Can't join live? That’s okay! Many people prefer to use on-demand videos. Everyone who signs up will gain access to the live video recording.
