OVERVIEW

Life is an incredible journey, filled with countless moments that shape our teenagers' lives. Some moments bring joy and fulfilment, while others present challenges and hardships. We understand how important it is to acknowledge the significance of these moments and how they can deeply impact our teenagers' futures. As our teens grow, they will undoubtedly face situations that demand their attention and resilience. As parents, we must understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to guiding them through these experiences. Each teen's journey is unique, and there is no set expiration date for the duration of their navigation through these moments. Sometimes, our teens may find themselves juggling multiple challenges at once. It's essential to understand that it's not a question of "if" but "when". These moments will arise. In this session, Dubsy will provide parents with practical tools to support and lead their teens through their current and future moments by fostering growth and resilience.
