The ARMC

Send us a text

The wild ride of parenting preteens and teenagers turns once-sweet children into eye-rolling strangers overnight, creating anxiety for even the most prepared parents. We share hilarious and heartfelt stories from our own experiences raising teens and preteens while navigating the challenges that come with this developmental stage.
• Dealing with the overnight personality changes from affectionate kids to independent teens
• Managing the mysterious disappearance of groceries and the bottomless pit of teenage appetites
• Creating open communication that survives eye rolls and attitude
• Balancing safety concerns with allowing appropriate independence
• Navigating difficult conversations about alcohol, parties, and peer pressure
• Establishing your home as a place teens want to be while maintaining parental authority
• Finding your village of other parents going through similar challenges
• Teaching essential life skills that prepare teens for eventual independence
• Giving yourself grace through the parenting mistakes we all make
