Moving from adolescence can be a difficult time for both child and parent.

You will find the Soulful Parenting gatherings a warm, fun and inviting atmosphere where questions can be addressed, information will be shared and guidance will be offered on how to navigate through these “adolescent” years.
What SOULFUL PARENTING IS:
- Soulful Parenting is a way of “seeing” How you see your child determines what you “see” which thereby determines what you Will do.

We will look at long term techniques that will influence your relationship with your teen.
- Soulful Parenting will address parenting out of love or fear. It is easy to feel you are losing control of you teen and we will look at at the struggles and healthy antidotes to parenting through love and understanding.
- Soulful Parenting means accepting the #1 job of an adolescence’s is “IDENTITY FORMATION” and the importance of helping them move into autonomy and independence.
- Soulful Parenting is understanding that influence is through relationship. We will address the importance of empathy, unconditional positive regard, authenticity, optimism, as we parent our children.
Soulful Parenting will discuss the importance of boundaries and consequences. As the teen matures they will move from logical to more natural, relational and ultimately intrinsic consequences. Understanding these difference will help in setting healthy boundaries for your home.
