Parenting can be both incredibly rewarding and incredibly challenging—especially as children grow into teenagers and young adults. This Parent Talk is designed to encourage and equip parents with practical insights, hope, and tools for the journey.

Together, we’ll explore research and real-life examples that show the powerful and lasting influence parents continue to have in the lives of their children, teens, and emerging adults. We’ll also take an honest look at some of the unique challenges and uncertainties young people face today, helping parents better understand the world their children are navigating.

The session will include a brief overview of the work EFL is doing in schools to support students and strengthen families, along with a variety of trusted parenting resources that can provide ongoing guidance and encouragement.

We’ll wrap up with practical ideas parents can begin using right away, along with reassurance that small, intentional moments of connection can make a meaningful difference. Whether you’re parenting a young child, a teenager, or a young adult, you’ll leave feeling encouraged, informed, and better equipped for the road ahead.
