How to Find (& Follow) Your Parent Compass

No Guilt Mom | Overcoming Mom Guilt, Parenting Tips, & Self Care for Moms

Raising teens can be a daunting task for any parent, but it doesn't have to be. With the right guidance and tools, you can raise your teen with positive mental health and follow your “Parent Compass”.

We recently sat down with Cindy Muchnick, M.A., and Jenn Curtis, M.S.W., authors of the book, The Parent Compass: Navigating Your Teen's Wellness and Academic Journey in Today's Competitive World. They help tweens and teens navigate middle and high school culminating in the college admissions process.

We talked about what teens are currently going through both in high school and as they prepare to transition into that next phase of life (outside their parental home), and now we're going to provide you with tips on how to find and use your “parent compass” to foster positive mental well-being and emotional resilience in your teen.
