The 1 thing every teen needs

Updated: Sep 9

 

When I was a teenager..


  • I was confused and conflicted.

  • was angry and felt misunderstood.

  • I was shutting myself off from my parents and family.

  • I was grumpy and unhappy.

  • My mood was up and down.

  • I wasn't talking much.

  • I felt that no one in the world understood what I was going through but my “FRIENDS” at the time. I felt that I belonged when I was with them. I felt that they cared about me.


If I could go back in time and tell my younger self to share 1 thing that I really needed from my parents. It would be about " staying emotionally connected".


This is the 1 thing and the most important thing that your teenager needs.


You may be thinking your teen just wants to spend time with their pals, or being left alone. This can not be further away from the truth.


Your teen needs you to stay connected with them emotionally and be available for them emotionally so that they can turn to you for help, comfort and reassurance when they try to navigate this difficult part of their life journey.


If you are struggling to know how to stay connected with your teen, In the e-course strengthen the bond with your teen, I shared valuable insights and fail proof, practical strategies for you to have the "CONNECTEDNESS" with your teens so that they don’t need to go through what I went through as a teen.

A Traumatic event nearly broke the family. After a  year of trying everything but nothing worked, they found their harmony

I was really struggling to be honest! Some things happened and I lost all of my confidence. I made mistakes and didn't know how to get back on track.

 

BUT after just a couple of sessions with Pei-I, I’m feeling soooo much better. I’m really positive about the future instead of worrying all of the time. For me, the best thing has been the clear strategies you’ve provided.

And I can see the strategies you’ve given me are working already!! After just a couple of weeks things have improved massively. I’m so happy I found you and so excited for the future!! This is exactly what we needed. I know we will all be less stressed and happier because of the work we’ve been doing together Pei-I - we already are (but I’m not letting you go anywhere just yet ).

 

Anyone who is thinking of working with you should absolutely DO IT. You’re extremely knowledgeable in this area and definitely a talented coach. I feel like to always listen but equally have a lot of amazing insights to share. I love that in a coach.  Mum from England
