Tools to Help You Parent Your Teen



I'm so excited to launch my online Life Coaching Website! Rather than a traditional blog this morning, I want to introduce to you what to expect from just one of my specialty tracts - OMGosh Teens!


OMGosh Teens Life Coaching Podcast 1- Teen Issues in Today’s World
Teens today face many rough situations that most parents don’t know anything about. Listening and providing a safe environment for them is very important to get them though these hard years. Communicate and set a good example of the adult you want them to become. Learn how to listen and communicate with your teen to promote a healthy relationship.


OMGosh Teens Life Coaching Podcast 2- Teen Friendships and Identity
Friendship and style changes happen frequently in high school. Knowing what your teen is doing with their friends and saying online is critical. Always be willing to help promote healthy and quality friendships. Learn how to regulate but also be accepting of your teen’s style and friends.


OMGosh Teens Life Coaching Podcast 3- Drugs & Alcohol Use and Abuse
Drinking, cigarettes, and drugs are more popular than ever for high school students. Talking to your teen about it is the best thing you can do. Learn the obvious signs of alcohol or drug abuse and how to open up to your teen about it.


OMGosh Teens Life Coaching Podcast 4- Values and Priorities
Teaching your teen about values and priorities is necessary now and throughout their lives. Quality time with family is a small way to make a big difference in your teen’s life. Learn how to communicate and be positive to reinforce your relationship.

Sex and addictions are vital to talk to your teen about. Boundaries are an important thing to discuss to prevent bad habits.

Setting goals can be very meaningful to your teen. Be a good example and positive influence in their life. Making good decisions for yourself shows your teen how to make better decisions for themselves. God has big plans for you and your teen’s lives. Learn how to discuss and be supportive of your teen’s goals.


OMGosh Teens Life Coaching Podcast 7- Money, Discipline, and Step Parenting
Teens have a hard time being wise with money and discussing it with them is important. Discipline and positive reinforcement can help your children learn from their life experiences. Step parenting is hard, especially with teens, so having the right approach is vital.
