What is the difference between parenting kids and parenting teens?
There are aspects of coaching that are the same when we coach parents of young kids and when we coach parents of teenagers. However, there are sections of the coaching that are different. The Be Happy in LIFE Relationship Model has a special section for parenting teens that is very valuable to parents and feedback show that understanding the model is provides great relief for parents of teens. The rules and boundaries are different for young kids than the rules required for teens. Since parents benefit a lot from examples and practical tips to establish good relationships with their young kids or teens, we make sure to tailor each program to the specific needs. This is why we prefer to coach groups of parents of young kids and groups of parents of teens separately.
