Well-researched and prepared

Crystal was not only fully prepared and engaging, but the host of resources, data, and research behind her methods was completely sound. I did not go away feeling burdened with one more thing to add to our calendar, but I felt excited and fully prepared to implement what I learned!

A strong relationship with your teen is the cornerstone for having influence in his or her life. Parenting and developing a relationship with teenagers requires a different approach than when they were young. We’ll explore what a mentoring and coaching approach might look like and discuss practical steps you can take to build and strengthen your relationship with your teen.

Does it seem like your teen clams up when you ask a question? There is a proven technique you can use to get your teen to talk to you. We’ll discuss how to help your children feel heard, understood, and loved. As you use this technique with your children (and others!), you’ll see the walls between you fall down. You’ll increase your influence in their lives as you learn to communicate with each other more effectively.

We want our homes to be a place of refuge for our family. But in today’s fast-paced society, how can we create a thriving home atmosphere that allows everyone to achieve their God-given potential with less stress? We’ll work through exercises to help you identify the atmosphere you want to have in your home and discuss two practical ways to begin cultivating your vision.

Crystal's Bio

Crystal Wagner is a parent-teen relationship coach who helps moms of teenagers protect and strengthen the relationships they’ve worked so hard to build. After 17 years of homeschooling her daughters, Crystal discovered firsthand that old ways of connecting don’t always work as children become independent. Her own journey of overprotecting, overstepping, and then learning new listening skills gives her both the empathy and the credibility to walk alongside other moms in this season.

Known for her calm presence and ability to “crystallize” jumbled thoughts into clear insights, Crystal creates a safe space where moms can slow down, breathe, and discover new ways of listening that keep the door to relationship open. She combines her personal story with training in coaching, education, neurodiversity, and embodied learning, using hands-on methods like LEGO® Serious Play® materials and methodology to make growth practical and actionable.
