Cultivating Resilient Teens

Cultivating Resilient Teens "I help parents empower their teenage daughters to build confidence, integrity and resilience for all of life's adventures." That's where I come in.

I'm Shawna B Warner, founder of Cultivating Resilient Teens. I help parents empower their teenage daughters to build confidence, integrity and resilience for all of life's adventures. It's exciting to watch your daughters grow into their own person. And it's hard to lose control and let go. At the same time, teens require some freedom to build their tribe outside the family. That's where they'll uncover their unique gifts. They need resilience to navigate the perception-warping world of social media and other rights of passage. Intense feelings, hormones and differences of opinion can become a turbulent mess. You and your teen deserve a thinking partner to create a new kind of harmony. As a parent to three amazing, challenging, thoughtful and rapidly growing teenagers, I’ve made my share of mistakes in that turbulent mess. Through my background in clinical social work (MSW) I’ve come to realize that no matter how resourceful and loving you are it truly does take a village to raise confident, well-adjusted human beings. You can’t do it all on your own. In my company, Cultivating Resilient Teens, I help parents like you empower your teen daughters to develop a strong sense of self, create meaningful relationships, foster a connective family life and design healthy social scenarios.

Your daughter doesn’t struggle because she’s not confident.

She’s struggling because she’s figuring out who she is.

• comparison
• labels

Cause her to doubt.

I help parents guide their daughters to build a strong sense of self from the inside out.

Because when your daughter knows who she is, everything else gets easier.

Every teenage girl is asking…⁣
⁣
• Do you see me?⁣

⁣
When the answer feels like ‘no’ she doesn’t stop asking…⁣
⁣
She starts answering those questions for herself.⁣
⁣
Oftentimes in ways that 𝘀𝗵𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗵𝗲𝗿, 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿, or send her 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 that she belongs in all the wrong places.⁣
⁣
But when she feels seen, accepted, and 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙣 no matter what’s happening…⁣

That’s where confidence takes root.⁣
