Raising Teens Differently Than You Were Raised
A live, 60-minute workshop for parents who want to stop yelling, stop caving and stay close, starting with you.
Save my spot
You promised yourself you’d do it differently. Then your teen rolls their eyes, and suddenly you’re yelling, or giving in just to keep the peace. Later comes the guilt.
It’s not because you’re a bad parent. Your teen is pressing on something much older than this moment: the way you were raised. In this hour, you’ll learn to notice what’s coming up for you, calm yourself first, hold the line with warmth, and repair when it goes wrong.
In one hour, you’ll learn 4 pillars
Notice
Why certain moments set you off, and how to catch it before you react
Regulate
Simple resets for your own nervous system in heated moments, practiced together
Hold the line
Warm and firm. Phrases for phones, homework, tone and plans, without yelling
Repair
What to say after you lose it, so the relationship gets stronger, not weaker
You’ll leave with a one-page plan for the week and a private worksheet.
This is for you if
- You have a tween or teen between 10 and 18
- You hear your parents’ voice come out of your mouth
- You swing between being too strict and too soft
- You’re tired of the same fights, and want something to actually change
This probably isn’t the right fit if
- You’re looking for ways to get your teen to comply or behave
- You want strategies to fix your teen, without looking at your own reactions
- You want a script to win arguments
This workshop starts with you. If you’re open to that, you’re in the right place.
What it’s like
This isn’t a webinar where you sit and watch. It’s a small, interactive group, cameras on if you’re comfortable, with real practice and time for questions. It’s education, not therapy, so no one is asked to share their family’s story.
Your guide
Saveen Sundrani, LCSW, is a trauma therapist with over 10 years of experience, the founder of Rise Mental Health in Duluth, GA, and a mom of a teen herself. She helps adults, teens and families understand why they react the way they do and break patterns that get passed down.

Questions
Do I have to talk or share?
No. You can participate in the chat, with a thumbs up, or just listen.
Is this therapy?
No. It’s an educational workshop. Attending doesn’t make you a client of Rise Mental Health.
Can’t make it live?
Register anyway and you’ll get a teaching recap to watch for 7 days. The live session itself isn’t recorded, so practice, Q&A and discussion happen live only.
Can both parents join?
Yes. One registration covers parents joining together from the same screen. Joining from separate devices or homes? Please register each parent.
Why are there three rates?
I want this workshop to be within reach for as many parents as possible. Every rate gets the exact same workshop, worksheet and teaching recap. There’s no need to explain or prove anything. Just choose what fits your budget right now. If you’re able to choose the Supporter rate, it helps keep the Accessible rate available for other families.
What if I can’t make it after all?
You can get a full refund up to 7 days before (by Jan 18). After that, your registration becomes a credit toward a future workshop. If the workshop is ever postponed or canceled, everyone gets a full refund.
Is it only for parents who had a hard childhood?
Not at all. It’s for any parent who wants to respond to their teen more calmly and confidently.
You’re already thinking about doing it differently. This hour shows you how.
