Are you ready to shift from managing the details of your child’s life to guiding them with a coach’s mindset? Join Peace At Home Experts Aaron Weintraub, M.S., and Tanika Eaves, Ph.D., as they focus on the critical parenting approaches that support tweens through young adulthood.
Starting with the pre-teen years, we will explore key strategies that help foster independence while nurturing emotional growth and strong problem-solving skills. You will learn how to gradually shift from being the “CEO” of your child’s life to something more like a coach, supporting their development, empowering their decision-making, and helping them build the skills they need.
By the end of this workshop, you will be equipped with practical, actionable strategies that help your child develop the skills, confidence, and mindset needed to thrive. Come learn to coach your child through the journey to independent adulthood with confidence, resilience, and self-sufficiency.
After this workshop, you will be able to:
- Create a gradual transition from hands-on parenting to coaching approaches that nurture stronger internal controls
- Encourage increasing independence, responsibility, and emotional intelligence as your child matures
- Apply approaches that strengthen your child’s decision-making and problem-solving without over-controlling
- Foster a healthy relationship that balances trust, support, and healthy boundaries
- Support your child through setbacks and failures, helping them learn and grow with resilience
- Apply approaches that pave the way for a successful launch into adulthood
