THIS MONTH our topic is...
Understanding the Teen Brain (and how it impacts our realtionship with our teen daughter)
Do you ever wonder why your teen daughter experiences intense emotions, takes unexpected risks, or pulls away from family relationships? The answer lies in her rapidly developing brain. Understanding the changes in her brain is the key to fostering a stronger, more connected relationship. This month we are going to dig a little deeper into the neuroscience that has emerged over the last decade to help us understand why our teen daughters seem like different people and how we can navigate these changes to support our relationships.
What You’ll Learn:
1. The Science of the Teen Brain
- Why decision-making and impulse control are still under construction.
- Understanding the emotional epicenter and its role in heightened emotional responses.
- How memory and stress interact during adolescence.
- Understanding the reward-seeking behaviors that influence her social world.
2. How Brain Development Impacts Behavior
- Emotional regulation: Why teens overreact to small challenges and how to help them.
- Risk-taking tendencies: The neuroscience behind impulsive decisions and peer influence.
- Social sensitivity: How heightened social awareness shapes her friendships and self-esteem.
3. Practical Strategies for Moms
- Support Emotional Growth: Learn how to validate her feelings and build her emotional resilience.
- Encourage Healthy Risk-Taking: Help her channel her reward-seeking behavior into positive outlets.
- Navigate Conflict: Tips for managing friendship drama and building trust.
- Foster Self-Care and Balance: Understand the importance of sleep, nutrition, and downtime for brain development.
Why This Workshop Matters
Your teen’s brain is developing at an incredible pace, making this a time of both opportunity and vulnerability. With the right tools, you can:
- Strengthen your bond by fostering open communication.
- Guide her through emotional highs and lows with empathy and patience.
- Help her build the skills she needs for a successful, independent future.
I hope to see you there :)
