Merri Guggisberg is a certified parenting coach on a mission to help parents build deeper connections with their children and navigate the complexities of parenting with confidence and grace. Her experience working with children from middle school to young adulthood has given her a unique perspective on the importance of understanding kids' brain development.

Parents often wonder why their once communicative child suddenly becomes distant during the teen years. Merri offers strategies for parents to better support their children through these transitions, encouraging parents to identify and articulate their core values and create a family vision statement that can guide decision-making and behavior.

This foundation helps children feel grounded and confident, providing them with tools to navigate the pressures of the outside world. Parents need to understand that each child may have a different preferred method of communication. Whether it's through face-to-face conversations, texting, or shared activities, finding the right approach can make a significant difference in maintaining a strong parent-child connection.

Merri's approach to parenting is holistic, focusing on emotional intelligence, effective communication, and strong support systems. Her practical advice and heartfelt stories offer valuable insights for any parent looking to build a stronger, more connected family.
