Los Angeles Teen Life Coach

I appreciate how exhausted you may be from encouraging your teen in their schoolwork. Perhaps consider utilizing the window of opportunity this summer to elicit outside support -- by hiring a tutor, coach and/ or counselor to assist your teen.

It's not enough to just assume everything is fine, or label a teen as "lazy," or simply hope the next school year will be better. Your teen needs your to check in with them and find out if they need assistance in any way.

I'm noticing that young people who were already struggling with the social dynamics of middle and high school prior to pandemic isolation have been further left behind, and are in need of assistance to strengthen their social intelligence.

We do not know the long-term impact on the brain of the excessive use of gaming and social media apps. However, I do know that a developing brain is not the same as an adult’s.

How Addicted Is Your Child To Their Phone? Can your teen put down their phone during homework? Are they on their phone during school? Can they have a conversation with you at the dinner table without their phone? Will they listen to you when you ask them to turn off their devices to get a good night’s sleep? The reason I ask is that if the...

This is a public service message reminding you it’s time to take inventory on how your teen is doing.

We have collectively survived one of the most unusual times in U.S. (and world) history. And yet the challenges persist, and will continue to persist for years to come. Young folk’s educations have been interrupted, and we have only just begun to understand what that means for them going forward.

It's hard to be a mom in today's world. Modern day expectations are that mothers do it all. With long days and some sleepless nights, many mothers attempt to balance work and home life. If you have a high stress job, or struggle with anxiety and/ or depression, the task can seem insurmountable.

As a parenting coach, my goal is to help make your parenting job easier. Oftentimes, we attempt to parent in ways we saw modeled for us growing up. Yet due to changing times and societal norms, today's teen requires a whole different type of support.

Never has social intelligence, emotional intelligence and problem-solving skills been more important for them. It's not just about encouraging them to get good grades and clean their rooms. It's about teaching them how to be flexible, resourceful and cultivate the grit to persevere past any obstacles.

Let me help you to help your teen. 15 years as a respectful parenting coach had helped me understand what parents need to be most effective in supporting their teen. In a few short weeks, we can untangle some of the challenges that are getting in the way of your ability to help your teen thrive.

Many of the teens I see in my practice are gentle souls. For some of them, the sheltering at home mandate brought relief. No more bullying. No more social anxiety triggers. No more overwhelm from all the expectations from a very full schedule. For these young people, engaging in the world is a taller order than for others.

It is for this reason that I suggest there may be benefit in anticipating returning to school in the fall, and making a plan on how to ready these young people for the transition. A year has passed since they were among classmates. Their bodies and maturity levels have changed in a myriad of ways. They may have gotten used to quieter schedules and more down time, and may be anticipating a return to school with trepidation.

I offer a Free Initial Consultation for parents in order to think together with them about any concerns they may have about their teen. Allow me to demonstrate the support I can offer to you and your family.
