Course Description
Parenting the Normal Teen is a faith-based parenting class designed to empower and support parents and children as they navigate the storms of adolescence. Religious affiliation is not a prerequisite for either taking or benefiting from the class. The class is, however, permeated with Christian principles which are embraced across denominational lines. Parents of preteens wishing to prepare themselves during the "calm-before-the-storm," as well as parents who are in the midst of the normal storms of adolescence will want to take this class. Those who are experiencing severe storms will want to take my class Solution Focused Parenting with Difficult Teens (SFP 101). Parenting the Normal Teen is a ten-lesson course, covering such things as communicating with your teen, relationship building, problem-solving, discipline, and faith development.
