You found a vape pen in your teen’s backpack. Now what?

You open your teen’s backpack and see a vape pen. 

Your thoughts start spinning:

Shit. Shit. Shit.

What is going on? 

Why is this in their backpack?

They’re sneaking around and lying to me.

You go from panicked to angry in less than 3 seconds.

You either can’t resist the urge to confront them right away, or,

You throw it out, thinking, that will teach them!

Either choice results in an explosion. 

Your teen screams,

“Why are you going through my backpack?”

“You can’t do that!”

You want to have a conversation.

You want them to share what’s going on.

But your approach doesn’t work.

When you discover your child is participating in risky behaviors like vaping, drinking, or sex, it’s only natural for your nervous system to kick into overdrive. 

You’re scared, anxious, and fearful of what might happen.

Listen, it’s impossible to have a productive conversation in this state.

If you want them to share what’s going on and stop vaping, settle your nervous system first.

This is exactly what we start on when we coach together.

After you settle your nervous system, I teach you how to have a conversation so they will tell you why they have the pen and listen to what you have to say.

No more yelling.

No more lying. 

No more massive wedge between you.

Book a complimentary call, and I will share a customized parenting plan to help you.

This information is liquid gold.

Don’t miss out.

I’ll talk to you soon.
