Parent and Adolescent Dispute
Is communication with your teen feeling strained?
Are you worried about ongoing disputes with your child, or feeling unheard in your family?
Are you a teenager thinking about moving out because living at home is becoming too difficult?
​
We get it—parenting a teen can be tough, and being one isn’t any easier. Misunderstandings build up, conversations turn into arguments, and suddenly, it feels like you’re speaking different languages. That’s where we come in.
Understanding Parent-Adolescent Disputes
Navigating the teen years can be tricky for both parents and adolescents. Conflicts often arise due to:
• Different perspectives on independence and responsibility.
• Misunderstandings around communication styles.
• Generational gaps in values and expectations.
These struggles are completely normal, and with the right support, families can work through them together. Whether it’s finding ways to communicate more effectively or addressing specific issues like curfews, schoolwork, or social pressures, Halo Journey is here to help.
1. Neutral Facilitation: we provide a safe environment, ensuring that both parties feel heard and respected without judgement
2. Improved Communication: We guide families through conversations to help both parents and adolescents express themselves more effectively and understand each other’s viewpoints.
3. Stronger Relationships: Resolving conflicts collaboratively fosters trust, respect, and stronger family bonds that last long after the mediation is over.
4. Confidential and Respectful: Our process is confidential, providing a space for honest, open discussions where both sides can feel secure.
