The Services Offered
Is your kid in trouble? Are you at a loss for what to do?
You just got the call or found out that your kid is in trouble. They have failed a class, been skipping class, gotten a diagnosis, been drinking, doing drugs, lying, sneaking out, cutting, having sex, giving oral sex. You always thought it would be someone else's kid, but it's not, it's your kid too.
What to you do? How do you handle it?
We all hope to avoid this situation and these moments. No matter how prepared you think you are, when the discovery happens, it is hard. Gain some perspective and create a plan for your next steps.
"Trouble has arrived" coaching sessions are $85 for an hour ($215 for 3 one hour sessions).

The journey to becoming a healthy, independent adult can be an interesting one for our kids. And for us (ugh). The journey that I have come to use, helps connect you and your kid with the stuff that matters most. We just don't have time to doink around with less than that these days. There is too much at stake.
My commitment is, and will continue to be, to offer you services that wake you up and help you engage in the life you want.

Core Curriculum: Your Teen's in Trouble: the Time to Teach
As the parent of an adolescent you find your self:
- Thinking, here we go…the teen years. Sigh. Ugh.
- Wondering what in the world you do with the behaviors you are seeing.
- Feeling frustrated, uncertain, scared.
- Knowing that you need to back off, but not knowing how to do so.
- Suffering because you feel completely ineffective and overwhelmed as a parent.
- Sad because your kid isn’t a kid anymore and your role is changing
- We all yell at each other all the time. My kid yells at me and makes demands. We yell back at her and expect obedience, if not responsibility. Bottom line is nothing is working very well.
- Our son continues to struggle. His self-confidence is low. He has had to deal with anxiety over the last several years. We want more than anything for him to be able to escape from the cage that is holding him back.
- Our daughter has lost all interest in school. All she does is spend hours in front of the mirror and talk with her friends.
- Our daughter, who is a good kid, is really down on herself. She is feeling intimidated and scared by kids at school. Finding her way in her new surroundings is a struggle. We are watching her self-doubt grow and grow, and her sense of self crash.
These are not just ho-hum stories. These come from parents who care a huge amount about their kids and are in pain. They are searching for solutions…
I have solutions that will ease the suffering and open up amazing possibilities.
I have ideas that will help you. The ideas will also help you help your kids.
The ideas are simple – simple and massively powerful. When you learn them and make the effort to use them, they will have dramatic and lasting impacts on you and your kids.
I am offering a 4-part class (it's on the phone). Here are the class dates and times:
- Tuesday, October 26 – The Task of Adolescence: a new perspective.
- Tuesday, November 2 – Parenting an Adolescent: 4 critical skills.
- Tuesday, November 9 – Dealing with Discomfort: the art of handling fear, uncertainty, and confusion.
- Tuesday, November 16 – Get in the Game: the difference between talk and action

I have continued to receive your email notices with interest. I was moved today by you article to tell you how much it inspires me that you exist it the world. Your caring energy, action and intention are wonderful. You have not lost your loving innocence even though it has been tempered by adult concerns and hurt. Remember that you are sending love into the world."
- Marcia, age 66
As Morgan was talking, I realized how important it is to be connected to myself and trust myself. It seems so obvious, but I know now what will help me be successful. It's as simple as learning to address my "Silly Self-talk" so I can be more positive about my self-image.
- Stacey, student, age 24
"Duh. I want my kid to be confident, but the number of things that I do that undermind that confidence is scary. Thank you Morgan for shining light on those simple things that will help me help my kids."
- Steve, parent of kids age 8 and 4
"I spend a lot of time wanting things to be easy, but now realize thats pretty lame. The easy way out is not going to get me what I want. It was my decision to go to college, and I want to learn, so bring on those challenges and hard stuff! I want to learn."
- Phil, student, age 19
"What draws me to you is how you play with your kids."
Peter, parent of kids age 9 and 3
