Do you want to be taken on an evolutionary mindset shift that fosters the nurturing of an open and friendly relationship between you and your adolescent?
If you answered YES! to any of those questions then this course is for you.
In the course of my work, I have found that the recurring challenges encountered by every generation of adolescent managers, including parents, teachers, school administrators and counsellors, with respect to successful adolescent management, have been occasioned by gaps in the evolution of tools appropriate to the given generation of adolescents. An unconventional generation of adolescents needs unconventional management strategies. These gaps in adolescent management strategies have further widened the gulf between adolescents and their managers while perpetuating adolescent-related social problems such as depression, drug addiction, risky sexual behaviours, violence and suicide.
