Parents Need Help Too!

Debra has been helping parents either develop a more connected relationship or mend a broken relationship with their teenager. She also coaches parents on ways to help their teens learn the skills of responsibility and the ability to make good decisions for themselves.

4 Weeks to connect with your Teen

• Do you want your teen to start making good decisions?
• Do you want to understand your teen to communicate better?
• Do you want a harmonious relationship with your teen?
• Find out how…

Debra gives parents the tools they need to help their teenager develop better self-esteem, therefore creating a harmonious relationship between parent and teen.

Parents have always found it easy to discuss issues about their teenagers with Debra; she has no judgments because she has walked in the same shoes they have walked in. Debra’s way of looking at the world and issues facing teenage girls helps parents develop the skills they need to have a more connected and fun relationship with their teenager.

Testimonial

Our family has been working with Debra for over 2 years. She has provided guidance and facilitated communication for me and my husband to ‘get on the same page’ about parenting a pre-teen/teen, which is no joke. She has also been a trusted confidant and friend to our 11-/13-year old daughter, who has opened up to Debra and enjoys talking to her now – especially when we’ve upset her. Debra has been a great resource for all three of us to navigate the waters of living in a home with a pre-teen/teenager. She is very down-to-earth, direct, yet still approachable to pre-teen/teen girls and their parents alike. We’ve been amazed at small ideas and techniques she suggested, which have helped bring peace and fun back into our home lives. It has been an absolute pleasure and miracle to have her in our lives, and I recommend her to anyone needing encouragement during these tough teenage years that can make or break a family.

Thanks, Debra. You are a life-saver and we love you!
