Description: Often thought of as a trying time for parents, adolescence can be a golden opportunity to deepen our relationship with our children and perhaps perhaps deepen our own commitment to personal growth. We will explore the inward experience of a teenager in order to cultivate compassion for their struggles and investigate what is meant by the adolescent “fall from grace”. We will also look at the role of the emotions in discipline and the importance of keeping clear, firm boundaries with our teens with a cool and calm mind. This is an experiential class so come prepared to move.
