Parents: what we do makes the biggest difference of all.

For parents who are guiding their rangatahi through the goal-setting process, all of these steps are important. If your young person expresses any signs of resistance then explore it. Beautiful conversations come from these opportunities. 

Parenting with an awareness of your values puts us in the driver’s seat when it comes to being the parent who makes a difference in the lives of their rangatahi. 

And every rangatahi needs that. 

Whatever you choose to do, take some action. This learning challenge is an opportunity for you and your young person to learn and grow together. 

Leaving it does nobody any favours. 

Hold your boundaries firmly. With love. With transparency. With compassion. 
You don’t need to engage in their dramas.
