The Wild Feelings Parent Workbook

Real Tools for the Most Transformational Years of Parenting: Early Adolescence

When we change how we think about adolescence, we change the world for the better. But the world keeps telling parents to fear it.
Brace yourself. Control the chaos. Just survive.

At Wild Feelings, we’re flipping that script. This workbook is your research-backed, story-rich, judgment-free field guide for raising emotionally agile adolescents without losing connection, joy, or your sense of self.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Tools to help you shift from manager to mentor
• Science that makes sense of your kid’s brain (and yours)
• Reflection prompts that build confidence, clarity, and calm
• Strategies for navigating conflict, setting boundaries, and growing connection
• Shared language for emotional literacy, dignity, and digital wellbeing

This isn’t about perfect parenting. It’s about meaningful progress.
Because when we build trust, emotional intelligence, and connection at the kitchen table, we build a better world.

Let’s walk this trail together.
