Parenting Teens: Advice from Expert Samantha Straub

Written By Elizabeth Harris

Parenting teens can be hard. Adolescence is a time of significant transition--for kids AND their parents. At Teen Savvy Coaching, Samantha helps parents of teens and tweens step into their parenting role with calm and confidence.  Her coaching is informed by her long career in education as a classroom teacher, administrator, and school counselor as well as her training as a licensed clinical professional counselor.

As a parent coach, Sam coaches parents to tame household chaos and strengthen the parent-child connection while also maintaining healthy and values-based boundaries. She gives parents the tools that they need so the whole family can go from surviving adolescence to thriving during this exciting time of growth and transition. 

Topics covered in this episode:

  • The connection between a strong parent-child relationship and wellness 

  • The biggest mistakes that parents make when trying to communicate with their teens

  • The concept of “drive-by parenting’

  • Tips on how to keep the parent/child relationship strong
