Raising Mentally Strong Kids: Navigate the Teenage Years
with Connection, Confidence & Common Sense - A Love and Logic ® Workshop

December 12, 2026- 10:00 - 11:30AM
Lake Geneva Public Library

The program would focus on practical strategies parents can use immediately, including:

• Understanding the developing teenage brain

• Why connection must come before correction

• Co-regulation and emotional regulation

• Teaching responsibility without damaging the relationship

• Setting healthy, enforceable boundaries

• Reducing arguing, backtalk and power struggles

• Technology, phones and digital responsibility

• When to empathize, when to set a limit, and when to allow a consequence

• Maintaining influence and connection as teenagers become more independent

This will be a highly interactive lecture. Parents will have opportunities to discuss real-life situations, submit

questions anonymously, and leave with practical "one-liners," a Parent Reset Card, and other resources they can

use at home. There will be a question-and-answer portion where parents can bring their toughest parenting

situations for discussion. They will leave with a few practical tools, a better understanding of what is happening

developmentally, and renewed confidence that they can remain connected to their children while still setting

healthy boundaries.
