Parenting Teens for LDS Moms: Improve Your Relationship with Your Teenager and Create More Peace in Your Home

by Emily Ricks

Are you an LDS mom who feels exhausted, overwhelmed, or frustrated by parenting your teen—and wonders if you're the only one who finds this so hard? This podcast helps LDS moms who are tired of nagging, arguing, and punishing improve your relationship with your teenager and create more peace in your home. Each week, you'll learn a simple way to think differently about the challenges you're facing so you can: -Build a stronger, more trusting relationship with your teen—even when their choices aren't what you hoped. -Discover how parenting your teenager can deepen your relationship with God. -Become the patient, confident mom you want to be and genuinely enjoy this season of motherhood. I'm Emily Ricks, a certified professional life coach, an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and a mom of four. When I first started parenting teenagers eight years ago, I wanted to find tools that would make me a perfect mom and ensure my kids made perfect choices all the time. I never found that. What I did find were simple life coaching tools that align beautifully with the gospel, and I use them every day to bring more peace, connection, and joy to my parenting—even though my kids and I still make plenty of mistakes along the way. If you're ready to truly enjoy parenting your teen, start with Episode 1, where it all begins.
