The Defiant
Teenager

Save your sanity, empower yourself, and improve your relationship with your teenager by learning tips and tools to handle uncooperative, resistant behavior.

Parenting your teenager doesn’t have to be a constant struggle for power. Especially now.

Are you sick of not knowing what to do when you hear your teen say, “I don’t want to!” Or “You can’t make me!”?

Are you desperate for some concrete tips to help you stay calm and clear headed during this turbulent time with your teenager?

Are you yearning for some quality family time with your teenagers that is peaceful and drama-free?

Hi. We’re Sue and Stephanie, the founders of Your Teen for Parents.

Between us we've had eight teens who have pushed our buttons, add years to our lives, and made us doubt all that we know about parenting.

We were lucky to be able to tap into game changing advice and get the support we needed to deal with our kids' defiance and we thought: We've got to share what we've learned.

This mini-course is for you if:

✔️you're feeling extra tension as a result of being home during the pandemic

✔️you’re tired of your teenager pushing your buttons

✔️ you’re worried that your teenager is making decisions that go against your house rules

✔️ you feel like every conversation turns into an argument

✔️ you’re not sure if your teenager’s defiant behavior is normal

✔️ you’re exhausted from the constant drama and tug of war that your life has turned into

It’s also for you if. . .

you value respectful parenting

You have the best intentions when it comes to raising your teenagers, but now that they’re challenging you at every turn, you find yourself on the struggle bus or tempted to react in a way that will escalate the situation

you seek expert advice

You know that it’s time for your teenagers to assert themselves, but the first time your kid looks you in the eye and says “No way” (or something worse), you feel your heart pounding and your temper flaring. At these moments, you NEED to know the next steps to take in order to communicate with your teen

you want to connect with like-minded parents

You want to join a complete conversation so you can feel less alone during this very difficult phase of parenting that everyone seems to be handling better than you are (hint: that’s not true - it’s just that no one's been talking about it)

I thought the Defiant Teen workshop was well worth the time. It was interesting, reassuring, funny and helpful. Since taking the workshop, I have reminded myself many times of something I learned from the workshop: QTIP! (Quit Taking it Personally). I've also recommended Your Teen Magazine and Workshops to many of my friends. We are not alone in our parenting challenges. Thanks for being such a wonderful resource.

It was excellent, and, as usual, it was great at making me feel not so alone in all this. It’s so different sharing the teen parenting struggles with friends because you are sharing a piece of confidential information about your teen, their bad choices, the way they treat you, mental health and hygiene issues and relationship issues (friends and partners). Even though they are kids, other adults can do a lot of judging of them based on what you share. Your kid may always be known as the “kid who tried drugs in 9th grade” or “kid who back talked to their mom all the time” etc...This is very different than sharing toddler struggles. I would love more of this.
