"Being the parent of a teenager can be a fraught, anxious and even lonely journey.
Knowing that there's a community of other parents feeling the same way can be a game-changer.
Welcome to your village - a place to share, learn, laugh, show support and be supported.
We've got you."
Shelley Carppe
We're building a community of support for parents and caregivers raising adolescents - a place to get your questions answered, find support from others on the same journey, join in on fun, manageable monthly challenges designed to help you enjoy and get the most from your relationship with your teen or tween, and, ultimately, be able to look back on these years with pride, knowing you've done your absolute best and raised a fabulous young adult.
"Raising Teenage Girls" talk
I've presented my "Raising Teenage Girls" talks around New Zealand and online, to hundreds of parents, sharing my family's journey and what I've learnt along the way.
The main focus of my talks are:
- how to build strong, honest communication with your teen
- how to raise resilient teenagers, and why that's so important
- the dangers surrounding our teenagers and safety measures that help them navigate alcohol, drugs, relationships and more, and
- how to survive when the walls come crashing down
If you're interested in a talk being held in your area, or at your local intermediate or high school, please contact me: Shelley@raisingteens.co.nz
Our "Raising Teens" private Facebook Group has over 3,000 thousand parents sharing, caring, asking, answering and supporting each other - join now!
Introducing
Shelley Carppe
Hi, I'm Shelley - a public speaker on "Raising Teenage Girls", trained course facilitator for "Tuning In To Teens", parent coach, and creator of the "Raising Teens" private facebook group and "Raising Teens and Tweens VIP Community".
Most importantly, I'm a mum of three girls, now aged 27, 24 and 22 - so I've climbed that mountain, ridden that rollercoaster, experienced the highs and lows and the in-betweens and now it's my pleasure to be helping other parents through their journey.
It's not an easy gig, this parenting, but it's worth it, and despite all the ups and downs and stress and worry and frustration, believe me when I tell you, when your children are grown, and you can look at them with pride and count them amongst your friends, it's the best feeling in the world.
So hang in there, keep putting in the effort, remember to take care of yourself too, join in with us and we'll get through this together!
