The teenage years are some of the most difficult years for BOTH parents and teens. Most of us with children 11 – 16 years old would have had the following experiences:
- our teens are turning into emotional chameleons, enigmas we cannot comprehend;
- our teens are emotional time bombs and we never know when they are going to explode at the smallest trigger;
- our teens seem like strangers to us on some days and we seem to be losing contact with them not because we do not see them but because they shut themselves off from us; and
- we are struggling to understand what is going on in our teens’ minds.

“It was enriching and a must attend seminar for parents with ‘soon to be teen’ children. I was clueless in handling the transformation of my obedient boy to a uninvited alien. Everything seemed wrong and all the values that we painstakingly modelled and taught him seems to evaporate into the air. But everything does make sense now after I attended the seminar last night. Thanks so much, Vivian, for opening my eyes to see a different person in my teen.”

Thanks Vivian for the inspirational seminar. I have a better understanding on my son’s behaviour and motivated to be an awesome mum. I have also learnt that we need to speak the love language of our teens and not based on our perception of love.
Thank you so much, Catherine, for your affirmation! Yes, show love to our teens in the way THEY can understand. You are indeed an AWESOME mom!!
