Jeff’s Parent and Community presentations provide an added bene昀椀t to his school visits by
bringing together trusted adults and speaking the truth to their responsibility parenting and
caring for their children.
As a father, Jeff knows that parents play the most signi昀椀cant role in the self-esteem of teens
than any other adult, and his presentations are a great way for parents to 昀椀nd solutions to
pressing issues like cell phones, social media and the Internet - especially to the question,
“how much is too much.”
We have given our young people rights and privileges that they are not emotionally capable
of handling - especially the stresses that come with some of these platforms. We need to
remember that the expectations of parents, teachers and peers may also be putting undue
pressure on them.

Teens Need
Two Questions
Answered.
DO YOU CARE ABOUT ME?
CAN I TRUST YOU?
Demonstrate that you can answer these three questions and you have a better chance of
your teen opening up to you. Jeff provides the tools to empower parents to do just that.
“ In a crisis situation, would your teen come to you as their 昀椀rst trusted adult to reach out to?
“ What are the two words teens use to describe parents?
“ Why do teens not open up to trusted adults and parents?
Jeff answers all of this and you’ll be shocked!
