I am a Psychotherapist, Teen–Young Adult–Parent Educator, Workshop Facilitator, and Self-Defense Instructor.
Parenting Through Puberty Workshop Facilitator
Supporting parents to navigate their child’s transition into adolescence and beyond.
This material is based on the research and curriculum concepts and teaching experience in developing my INFORMED ADOLESCENCE® middle-school curriculum.
It is also based in my practice as a Licensed Master Clinical Social Worker with 35 years of experience supporting families and youth.
Lastly, it is based in the wisdom (and gray hair) gained from parenting my own four children.
Topics for discussion and growth:
Puberty signals a shift from CHILD to TEEN.
Good parenting requires shifts for your child’s puberty!
What are your values and how do you communicate them to your kid(s)?
What does it mean to be “sex positive”?
What was it like for YOU in 5th or 6th grade? How did you learn things–and how did you FEEL–about puberty, sex, consent, relationships, romance…?
What did you want from your adults?
