Parenting teens isn’t one-size-fits-all. Every family is unique, and what you need as a parent can change from season to season. Below are eight ways parents often experience support. Take a moment to see which resonates most with you today.
1. Emotional Support
Support may come in the form of someone listening openly, acknowledging your feelings, and offering steadiness when things feel overwhelming. It serves as a reminder that you aren’t facing the teen years on your own.
2. Practical Support
Some parents want tools they can use immediately, clear steps, communication strategies, and scripts that reduce conflict and confusion at home. Practical support gives structure without overcomplicating things.
Analyn V., Mother of Six
“With six children of varying ages, needs, and personalities, I’ve often struggled to know how to provide each of them with the love, attention, help, space, and encouragement they need while still making sure we have meaningful family time together.
Gloria always seems to know exactly how I’m feeling. She offers practical ideas that help me feel confident implementing what my kids need guidance and room to grow. She’s also helped me understand that growth includes patience with my own evolution as a parent.”
3. Self-Leadership Support
For many parents, support means strengthening their own regulation and internal steadiness. They understand that when the adult leads themselves well, the entire household begins to recalibrate.
4. Community Support
Some parents need connection, shared stories, reassurance, and the reminder that their experiences are normal. Community brings relief and perspective when parenting feels isolating.
5. Cultural + Generational Support
Families shaped by cultural expectations or generational habits may benefit from support to break old cycles, rethink discipline, and foster relationships based on connection rather than fear or control.
6. Proactive Support
These parents aren’t in crisis. They simply want to stay ahead of stress, build skills early, and strengthen communication before conflict escalates. They value clarity now rather than repair later.
7. High-Intensity Support
Some seasons bring bigger emotions and higher stakes, safety concerns, chronic conflict, or major transitions. These parents need grounded guidance and stability to help them navigate daily pressure.
8. Empowerment Support
This is for parents who want accountability, encouragement, and confidence-building. They’re seeking guidance that helps them reconnect with their own strength and trust their instincts again.
Dr. Victoria McWilliams, MSSW
“Ms. Lewis is a confident professional who not only knows what she’s talking about she’s lived these challenges herself. I know the strategies she teaches work. She can help you too.”
