Hello, hello! I’m so glad you are interested in joining me for "The Teenager Brain," an online parenting class hosted by myself Cierra Walling with New Beginnigns Behavior Services. I’m thrilled to have you join me as we dive into the fascinating world of understanding and supporting our teens during this crucial stage of development.

In this class, I will be your guide. With a Bacholer’s Degree in Family and Human Development and a Masters in Education, I bring 15 years of experience in social and emotional skills training and wellness.

As a board-certified behavior analyst (BCBA) and parent coach, I am passionate about empowering and educating parents to set their children up for success in real life.

During this class, we will explore the key brain development structures in a teenager's brain and how they impact their behavior.

I will shed light on the crucial process of identity development and why teenagers often face challenges in forming their self-concept and self-esteem.

We'll uncover five common roadblocks that hinder identity development, from the "immortality complex" to egocentrism and autonomy to the data processing error and finally the white belt vs. black belt brain.

You'll learn practical takeaways to help you help your teens navigate these roadblocks and develop critical skills, such as emotional regulation and healthy connections with others.

So, get ready to gain valuable insights and strategies to better communicate with and support your teenagers during this transformative phase of their lives.

Join me for "The Teenager Brain" parenting class, where I’ll equip you with the tools to be your teen's cheerleader and guide as they journey towards adulthood. See you there!
