Back-to-school season can bring more than new schedules, homework, and early mornings.
You may notice your teenager is suddenly more exhausted, irritable, overwhelmed, unmotivated, attached to their phone—or simply not acting like themselves.
There may be more happening underneath the behavior than you realize.
In this 90-minute on-demand parent workshop, Sarah Jaclyn combines a neuroscience-informed understanding of the developing teenage brain with practical strategies parents can begin using right away.
You’ll learn why the transition back to school can place such a heavy load on the teenage brain, why behaviors like procrastination, attitude, shutting down, “I don’t care,” and increased phone use may not always mean what we assume—and how to respond with both connection and accountability.
You’ll also be introduced to the RISE UP™ Framework, a practical six-step approach designed to help teens build emotional regulation, self-awareness, perspective, problem-solving, decision-making, and resilience.
Inside the workshop, you’ll learn:
- What’s happening in the developing teenage brain
- Why emotion, reward, belonging, and peer feedback can feel so powerful during adolescence
- Why the transition back to school can lead to overload and the “after-school crash”
- What may be underneath behaviors parents often interpret as laziness, disrespect, or not caring
- Why less pressure can sometimes create more connection
- How to set boundaries without losing connection
- How to help your teenager solve problems instead of immediately solving them for them
- How to use the RISE UP™ Framework in everyday parenting moments
- Seven simple shifts you can begin practicing at home right away

This workshop is for you if…
You want to better understand your teenager without excusing unhealthy behavior.
You want fewer power struggles and more productive conversations.
You want practical strategies—not another list of everything you’re doing wrong.
And most importantly, you want to prepare your teenager to eventually navigate difficult moments without needing you to solve every problem for them.
Because the goal isn’t to raise teenagers who never struggle.
We’re preparing young people who know what to do when they do.
That’s resilience.
That’s RISE UP™.
