ParenTeen Kenya Our vision is empowering today's teenager and their parents to enjoy a fulfilling relationship

I’m Jane Kariuki, a Clinical Psychologist, wife, mother of three, and Christian.

If you’re here, chances are you’re seeking guidance on navigating the often challenging, yet rewarding, journey of raising a teenager. Let me share a bit about why this mission is so close to my heart.

My passion for working with teenagers began shortly after high school. Volunteering at a children’s home with a high school, I had the privilege of interacting with preteens and teens both in and outside the classroom.

It was here that I discovered just how incredible, insightful, and full of potential teenagers are. If you’re a teen reading this, know that you are admired and valued.

Throughout my career, I’ve mentored teens and tweens, witnessing firsthand how often they are misunderstood and unfairly labeled as rebellious or problematic. This negative perception shapes not only how parents approach the teen years, but also how teens view themselves. It’s a narrative I’m determined to change.

Why ParenTeen Kenya?
ParenTeen Kenya was born out of a desire to shift this mindset. Our mission is to dispel the myths surrounding the teenage years and equip parents with the tools they need to foster positive, respectful relationships with their teens. Here, parents can learn how to approach this stage of life with empathy and understanding, turning potential conflicts into opportunities for growth.

But ParenTeen Kenya isn’t just for parents. It’s also a space for teens to explore who they are, learn about the issues they face—whether relational, psychological, mental, or spiritual—and find support as they go through this complex time in their lives.

Is this too much? What are you thoughts on it?

Mother cuts daughter’s hair off to “teach her a lesson” 😬

According to the story, the mom said her daughter was too focused on boys and her looks, so she decided to cut her hair as a way to take away what she called her “confidence” and force her to focus.

Now people are arguing whether this was tough parenting… or public humiliation that could affect the child long term.

Is this real parenting… or did she go too far?

Our Story

Jane Kariuki is a Christian, wife, and mother with a special love and concern for the youth. She has a degree in Counseling Psychology and a diploma in Clinical Medicine and Surgery. Jane is also a member of the Kenya Psychological Association and Medical Missions Africa.

A word from her

Allow me to share a story, as I was working with Hands for Children International; I was introduced to Robert (not his real name) a 10-year-old boy. Robert was skipping school, grouping up with other like-minded boys to collect valuable pieces of metal and sell for cash. They later used the cash to buy snacks and toys (I thank God they had not been introduced to drugs).

We agreed to meet once a week for one hour and do any activity he liked as we talk. In the beginning, he was hesitant, but by the third visit, he was comfortable, and we embarked on a good relationship.
