Your Teen Parent Café

If you’re a parent of a teen or tween you probably feel exhausted and deeply alone at times.

This might sound familiar… 

• You’re in charge of everybody else’s well being and feel depleted because you don’t get time for yourself

• You feel pressured by what society expects of you, what your partner expects of you, and, dare we say, what you expect from yourself as a mom

• You feel lonely and isolated since your kid has hit adolescence. As if you're all alone in dealing with difficult encounters with your teen

• You can’t share your struggles with your friends because you fear they’re judgemental about your parenting choices 

• You feel like there’s no real anonymity because your friends are parents of your kids friends

• You feel like you can’t vent to your friends about the drama that’s being created in your household because it’s their kids adding to it 

• You feel uncomfortable revealing your kids story to your current friends and don’t want to share everything that’s going on in your house

• You’re not sure what is normal or not for your kids

If only you could feel comfortable and safe enough to talk about what's really going on in your life with other parents who get it, without the burden of perfectionism...

And let go of the feeling of deep exhaustion you feel in having to hold it together and be Julie the Cruise Director of your family ship.

We’ve taken everything we’ve learned from 12 years of running Your Teen Media, hosting parenting workshops, talking to hundreds of thousands of parents, teens, school counselors, guidance counselors, and experts in the field of parenting. 

The overall outcome is to see parents like you waking up each day excited to hop online, connect with new friends on a level playing field, and brainstorm solutions about what your families go through during this tough adolescent chapter.

Your Teen Parent Café

Isn’t about spending time on Facebook comparing your family to other people’s. It’s not about pointing the finger at how other people parent or judging how you’re performing as a mom.

And it’s definitely not about adding extra to-dos to your "ideal parent" list.

So how did we get here?

Your Teen developed out of personal passion but grew out of universal need. 

We saw that our own parenting concerns and fears resonated with everyone we spoke with. While we were wondering whether our teens’ struggles were normal and whether our parenting woes were typical, we saw other parents dealing with the same insecurities. 

Unfortunately, the books and magazines we relied on when our children were younger didn’t help with our teenage years. 

And so, Your Teen Media was born.

These days, we’re pleased to say that Your Teen is a leading source for parents seeking high-quality information and advice about raising teenagers. 

We’ve taken everything we’ve learned from 12 years of running Your Teen Media, hosting parenting workshops, talking to hundreds of thousands of parents, teens, school counselors, guidance counselors, and experts in the field of parenting to create Your Teen Parent Café.

We couldn’t be prouder.
