Hi, I’m Dr. Leah, and this is what I know for sure…

The best place for your tween to develop emotion regulation and resilience is through their positive and connected relationship with you.

Creating a strong relationship with your tween requires skillful communication. Conversations and interactions that connect you with your tween and foster positive coping and growing independence.

Over my 25+ years of working with families, I have been on a mission to help tweens understand themselves - and be understood and accepted - by their parents. Managing emotions and building resilience happen one conversation at a time.

Let’s get the conversation started, so you can begin fostering resilience, connection, and healthy communication right away.
