Description of Class: Raising a teenage girl is hard but being a teenage girl is even harder. The years between 13-19 are turbulent times. Think sensitivity. Think anxiety. Think moodiness. Now add in the hormone-induced angst of missing out, puberty and defiant behavior. The struggle is real for both mothers and daughters - how do we do a better job of validating their feelings by being sensitive to a huge range of emotions while approaching these concerns with empathy and love? The challenges on the table: self-worth, body image, anxiety/depression, peer pressure, stress, cyber addiction and on again/off again friendships to name a few. Teens need to know they have a voice and it is our jobs as mothers to encourage them to share their viewpoints openly. But it is also our job to protect them and seek truth, acceptance and solid communication so we can effectively advise and offer meaningful solutions. Nothing is worse than a parent who won’t lend a much needed ear except a teenager who refuses to listen. Let’s walk this path together and help one another understand this deeply complex transition of being a teenage girl in 2020.
