    Self-Regulation - The #1 Skill Your Teen Son Needs

    Self-Regulation - The #1 Skill Your Teen Son Needs

    Unfortunately, high schools don’t prepare our teens for the real demands of adulthood, including self-regulation, personal growth and life management skills.
    When young men don’t know how to handle the parts of life that are unfair, uncomfortable and uncertain, they act out their frustration with inappropriate, immature behaviors.
    In this podcast, Dr. Mark talks about the need for young men to become the CEO  - “Chief Energy Officer” -  of their lives so that they can successfully navigate the challenges that life will continually throw at them.

    This Movie About a Mongolian Family Is Helpful to All Parents of Teens

    This Movie About a Mongolian Family Is Helpful to All Parents of Teens

    Although modern, scientific family psychotherapy provides great insights to
    parents and their children, it’s sometimes overlooks the family wisdom that our tribal
    ancestors know.
    This podcast reveals some of the ways that a Mongolian family used to
    create a more caring and cooperative relationship with their teenager, and how you can
    apply those lessons with your own family.

Cindi B. ,

Dr.Mark with Mary Ann Magiorre

Dr. Mark is THE go to person for help with your teenage son. His integrity is unsurpassed and his passion for helping young men and their families live a more peaceful and empowered life is obvious. He offers practical tools and techniques that you can actually use drawn fron years of hands on experience with a multitude of families from various backgrounds and life situations. He speaks from the heart and I personally am very grateful for the support he has given my son and family over the last 12 years. I highly recommend looking into his work.

Desiree Storch Noble ,

John Gray with Dr Mark

Dr. Mark is an amazing person with great love and respect for teenage boys and the parents thereof. He was instrumental in helping my grandson during his 8th thru 10th grade years, when he was struggling with many issues, including not having a father in his life. Dr. Mark's philosophies and communication techniques are helpful not only to teenage boys and their parents, but to all of us that want to live with less conflict and more integrity, not to mention love and gratitude. I applaud all that he is doing and encourage you to learn more about his work.
