Your adolescent is growing and changing — just as the caterpillar transforms into the butterfly — and their changes probably have affected your relationship, family dynamics, and particularly your comfort and confidence in your parental role.
The Dance of Independence may be a useful metaphor for your current parental experience. Each of you struggling to lead; each of you determined not to be led. Each of you somewhat confused and anxious about the next step. Sometimes in sync; often not. Living with an adolescent can keep you dancing and second-guessing yourself for years to come.

If you‘re experiencing problems, conflicts, challenges or frustrations with your adolescent, remember...
that many of the changes in their attitudes and behaviors are products of their biological and psychological drives to separate from you and become their ownperson. There‘s not necessarily anything wrong with you, your teen or your parenting. These changes and conflicts are happening right on schedule, just as and when they must. This separation is something that needs to happen, no matter how loving, wise and caring a parent you have been; it‘s a vital part of their growing up to become an independent, autonomous individual.
Embracing the Dance of Independence, a unique 4-CD set of instructive and inspirational sessions, is designed to help parents of adolescents survive — and maybe even enjoy — this transition.
Through relaxing conversations and guided visualizations, you will become a more comfortable, confident and effective parent for much less than the cost of one hour of counseling or therapy! Adolescent Specialist and Parent Coach Glenn Goldberg orchestrates your internal journey of personal growth, deepened awareness, and a healthy new perspective on parenting your teen, pre-teen or “tween”. His rich and soothing voice combines with moving music and extraordinary instructional content to resonate in your mind and heart.
Embracing the Dance of Independence evolved out of Glenn Goldberg‘s decades of experience helping teenagers and their parents improve their relationships and results. These compact discs – creating a whole new category of “instructional meditations, visualizations and conversations” – offer you a 12 session process, an inner journey in the privacy, honesty and safety of your mind. This will be a healing and productive learning experience for you. It‘s not therapy, but it is therapeutic, according to the many parents of teens for whom this practice and discipline have worked. It can work for you too if you‘re willing to try it and work the process.
“These CDs will clarify issues, comfort you, and educate you to survive — and even enjoy — your child‘s adolescence.”

As other parents before you have discovered, Embracing the Dance of Independence can be a rich, empowering, rewarding, comforting, confidence-building and even transformative process for you. And you may discover and explore many different kinds and levels of independence before this dance is done.
But don't take our word for it, check out parents and counselors say and —
