Description

When it comes to parenting teens, the relationship you share is the foundation for all good things.

Do you feel like your teen is pulling away, rolling their eyes at every request, or shutting you out? It’s easy to feel like you’ve lost the child you once knew. Parenting teens can stir up frustration, self-doubt, and even memories of your own teenage struggles. But here’s the truth: Raising a teen doesn’t have to feel like a daily battle. Teens stumble because they’re still developing the skills they need to become healthy, happy adults.

Dr. Ann-Louise Lockhart, a pediatric psychologist and parent coach, has spent over twenty years helping families strengthen relationships and guide teens through this transformative stage. She knows it all comes down to relationship and connection—it’s never too late to reconnect. Teens need a safe foundation to develop lifelong skills like flexibility, impulse control, and emotional regulation. And you’re the best person to help them.

In Love the Teen You Have, you’ll learn how to discipline with love, build executive functioning skills for adulthood, and tackle challenges like ADHD, anxiety, and depression with clarity. You’ll also discover how to reparent yourself, healing wounds you don’t want to pass on. Dr. Lockhart combines relatable humor, stories, and actionable strategies to help you spark deeper connections and rewrite your parenting story. It’s never too late to love the teen you have and enjoy these years together.
