Empowering Parents

Image for Empowering Parents

Children are presented with a multitude of challenges in their formative years that will have a lasting imprint on the rest of their lives.  Parenting, particularly during the teen years, is not an easy task, but it CAN BE REWARDING.  That is why one of our primary focuses is on Empowering Parents.  

Understanding the Teenage Brain

E3 has developed an interactive, interesting program especially for parents of teens that helps them understand how the teenage brain actually works and provides them with some strategies on how to effectively guide their teen through this tumultuous season of growth.  Parents who have attended program have stated that they leave empowered to assist their teens develop good decision making skills that will help them become healthy, successful adults.

What You’ll Learn!

  1. Participants will have a better understanding of the amazing development of the teenage brain and why teenagers can more easily become addicted to substances and behaviors. (90% of addictions start in the teen years!)
  2. Participants will learn effective communication strategies, how to help teens develop good decision making skills, cope with peer and social pressure and consistently avoid risky activities and behaviors.
  3. Participants will learn how to develop self-regulation skills in their youth, so they will not only make healthy choices, they will develop life skill patterns such as employment skills for economic self-sufficiency, as well as relationship skills needed for a future marriage and family.
  4. Participants will learn tips for development and maintaining a foundation of trust so that teens will be more likely to confide in and communicate openly with their parents or caregivers.
