| Peace
and war begin at home. If we truly want peace in
the world, let us begin by loving one another in
our own families. If we want to spread joy, we need
for every family to have joy. - Mother

What does peace and quiet in
your home sound like?
What does mutual
understanding look like?
What does fun with your teen feel
like?
If you can't answer any of the above, you are
not alone.
Parents ask: “What happened to that sweet child
that used to live here?”
Teens answer: “My parents don’t
understand. I need to
experience things for myself!”
With a lack of communication between parents and
their teens, it seems as if they are from other planets
and speak different languages. Both parents and
teens feel frustration and anger.
Teens are under constant peer pressure, and on a
daily basis face gangs, drugs, violence, sex, teen
pregnancy etc. Loneliness is a
major part of many of their lives. They don’t talk to
their peers for fear of looking stupid, and believe that
they can’t talk to their parents either because they
think their parents don’t understand.
Teenagers need and want a better relationship
with their parents. They want the
guidance that a parent can give. Yet they want and
need their independence too.
How do you meet the needs of the teenagers and
their parents in a win-win way?
We’ve found that the solution is
simple: Bridging the communication gap between teens and
parents allows each side to drop their weapons and begin the
peace process. We believe that there are no bad kids nor bad
parents, simply ineffective strategies. Because the needs of
adolescents are so different than the needs of children, the
old strategies that once worked perfectly, no longer
work!
Using NLP Strategies, we will show you
how to create the new strategies you need to bridge the
communication gap between you and your teen and to put the
joy, respect and trust back into your family relationships
and stop the battles!
What is NLP?
NLP is a
scientific way to remove the emotional Filters, Deletions
and Distortions so that people can talk at the most
important level - from the heart. Understanding what you are
communicating is fundamental, yet it is this understanding
that is missing in parent and teen relationships. NLP is not
a tool to manipulate, but rather a tool to communicate
effectively, and bypass years of accumulated preconceptions
and anger.
