DBT for Parents of Teens & Young Adults

Parenting teens and young adults is not for the faint of heart. Every conversation with your teen turns into an argument. You just can’t seem to understand each other, and it’s hurting your relationship.

Your child has behavioral issues, and you’re at your wit’s end trying to figure out how to handle them effectively. It seems like no matter how hard you try, things aren’t going as you planned.

You can’t seem to say no to your kids or enforce any rules without it turning into a major confrontation.

Sometimes, you make parenting decisions in the heat of the moment that you later regret. You wish you had better impulse control.

You find yourself losing your temper way too easily. The smallest things sets you off.

You wish you could just relax, and enjoy time with your family. But, you can’t stop worrying about what your teen will do next. You are afraid for their future, and maybe even their life.

Between work, parenting, and everything else, you’re constantly stressed. It’s affecting not just you but the whole family.

The stress and not being on the same page when it comes to parenting is causing tension between you and your spouse.

You feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and are beginning to lose hope that things will ever change.
