Rite of Passage: Coming of Age – Digital Guide – 2026

$9.95

Your teen is changing. The voice, the closed door, the things they start keeping to themselves. That isn’t a problem to fix. It’s a threshold to honor. This 16-page digital guide helps your family mark the move from childhood into the teen years with tradition, honest conversation, and a ceremony you create together.

This guide walks you through:

Four coming-of-age traditions from around the world (the Quinceañera, Bar and Bat Mitzvah, Japan’s Coming of Age Day, and the Apache Sunrise Ceremony) and what each one teaches us
An eight-step plan to create your own rite of passage, whatever your faith or background
Conversations about responsibility, respect, the body, sex, and consent, with words for mothers and fathers, daughters and sons
A printable “Who Do You Want to Be?” page for your teen, plus a matching page to help you truly listen
Two sample ceremonies, one secular and one faith-based, plus a printable checklist and four-step plan

By award-winning author Debra Beck, and a companion to her books What If Your Teen Isn’t the Problem? A Guide to Conscious Parenting and, for your daughter, My Feet Aren’t Ugly: A Girl’s Guide to Loving Herself from the Inside Out.
