Raising Kids with an Ex Who Is Impossible!

If your ex is, shall we say, a bit challenging, this workshop is for you.
Raising Kids with an Ex Who Is Impossible is a free, in-person workshop for parents at Teen Therapy Center on Thursday, January 29 at 7 pm. Space is limited to 10 parents.

We will discuss the many challenges of managing family life when someone is consistently creating obstacles or stirring up conflict. The first step toward finding balance is caring for yourself. Support is available, and it can be reassuring to hear from other parents who are dealing with similar situations.

This is an intentionally small workshop, so early registration is encouraged. Registration link here:

When your 17-year-old is in a toxic relationship, it can be incredibly painful to watch. You see how much they’re struggling, but every time you try to help, it seems to push them further away.

In this week’s Tips on Teens, Kent Toussaint, LMFT, talks about why patience, love, and listening are often the most powerful tools you have as a parent. Trying to control or fix the situation usually makes things worse. What helps is being there with empathy, consistency, and support so your teen feels safe enough to come to their own realizations.

Eventually, your teen will begin to see the relationship for what it is. When that happens, they’ll be ready to move forward. Until then, your calm presence and understanding make all the difference.

Watch the full video on our page or visit teentherapycenter.com to learn more about supporting your teen through tough relationships.

If you have a parenting question you’d like Kent to answer on Tips on Teens, send us a message or email tipsonteens@teentherapycenter.com

We've only got a few seats left for our free workshop next Tuesday, October 14th, about how to support your angry teen!

Turning Conflict Into Connection: Healthier Responses to Teen Anger
Tuesday, October 14, 2025 at 7:00 PM
in person at Teen Therapy Center.
Free, limited to 10 parents

REGISTER HERE: https://teentherapycenter.intakeq.com/booking

When your teen is angry and you’re about to lose it you might come out thinking that if they could just control their anger everything might be okay. But here’s the thing: anger is a secondary emotion. It’s usually a reaction to sadness, fear or some other feeling of vulnerability.

So how do you turn that anger into something positive? That’s what we’re going to talk about in this workshop. What’s in it for you? Practical tools and strategies for handling the toughest parenting moments and the comfort of knowing you’re not in this alone. AND, decaf and cookies.

There's only a few spots left, so grab yours ASAP! And if you know another parent who could use some support, please pass this along.

Let’s All Overthink Teen Anxiety
Thursday, October 23, 6:30pm
Chaminade College Preparatory Library

We know that being the parent of an anxious teen can feel overwhelming. You want nothing more than to help your child feel safe, calm, and confident, but despite your best efforts, it can seem like nothing is working.

​​This workshop is designed to be a safe, welcoming space where you can:

Identify the reasons why your Teen’s anxiety feels larger than life
Learn to spot and understand signs of anxiety that you may be missing
Find out what parents often try that doesn’t work
Discover what actually does help (sometimes)
Get strategies to help you help your struggling teen

When you leave the workshop, you’ll have new tools, new insights, and most importantly, the reassurance that you don’t have to face this challenge alone.
