Seem impossible?

Are you thinking this might work for others, but not your kid?

We’ve been empowering Teens and Tweens with Life Skills since 2015, and because of our unique, relatable approach, the transformation is always confidence, connection, and self-love.

Life Skills are the Greatest Gift you can give your child!

Grades are important, but Life Skills equal Life Success now and as an adult.

Dawn Oliphant is a parent of Teen boys, as well as a powerhouse, community figure. But Dawn was doubtful… “my boys will never watch the lessons.“

Fast forward and here we are with both Teen boys completing the course and Dawn seeing this as her Teen “success story”.

Each of her boys went from giving short answers to questions, looking down, fidgeting, and rarely making eye contact to now carrying on conversations and engaging with others. “We are all so much happier! Wow, what a difference it’s made working with Addie!”

SEE HOW TANNER HAS GONE FROM:

I hear it over and over:

My kid is so lazy – refusing to do simple tasks like pick up dirty clothes!
Every day includes either an argument or shutting down!
I’m worried my Teen/Tween is making bad choices, but I don’t seem to have any control!
It feels like a losing battle, but I don’t want to give up!

My child lashes out at me – we’ve lost the connection we used to have!

And from Teens and Tweens, I hear this over and over:

Nobody listens to me!
I hate being treated like a little kid!
I’m so stressed out about school – actually about everything!
I hate the way I look
I feel awkward – it’s so hard to make friends

Here’s why these behaviors and feelings are happening:

“When you get to the core of what’s driving those negative behaviors and attitudes, you’ll find someone who’s afraid and unsure of themself. Teens and Tweens lash out and shut down because they’re unsure of who they feel they need to be without knowing who they really are, and they’re afraid of what’s ahead.

When your Teen or Tween gets connected to their unique qualities and learns how to value and trust themselves, plus learns how to communicate effectively in spite of their emotions, their life will become fulfilling and meaningful.

With the right support and Life Skills, your Teen or Tween can feel empowered by who they are and gain the confidence needed to open up, trust themselves, feel connected and achieve their full potential.

Yes, that means your child is now a responsive and respectful young adult who is back to feeling connected to you!”

It’s not easy being a parent to a Teen or Tween! Everyone says it’s not easy being a Teen or Tween – which is true, but let’s not forget about all the stress and hardships you’re enduring!

The frequent battles, disagreements, broken promises, withdrawal and disrespect all link to your child not feeling enough self-love and self-confidence.

Who’s behind this Teen and Tween
Empowerment Movement?

Life Skills for Confidence is an organization led by a mother-daughter team: Claudia Mead McBride and Addie Rausch.

Their daily passion is to empower youth by giving them the critical life skills necessary to be happy, successful, and responsible people now and as they become adults.

Claudia proved over and over that success in life comes down to these 5 key elements:

Hi I’m Addie Rausch – Teen Mentor and Empowerment Coach!

For both my mom Claudia and myself, life has been the proving ground that solid communication skills, healthy living, social and coping skills plus a sense of purpose and self-love, are the key elements of confidence and success.

Claudia’s journey through life was driven by determination – the determination to create a better life for herself, despite any odds that came her way. She proved over and over that effective communication, social skills, coping skills, a clear sense of purpose with self-love with a sense of purpose, healthy living, communication, social skills and coping skills. Naturally, Confidence follows!!

Even though Claudia grew up in a poor home, she was the first in her family to go to college, regardless of zero money. As a teen, Claudia felt college was the answer to getting out of poverty. So she got a job and diligently worked – putting herself through college.

Her life unfolded and success followed, but not without challenges. For Claudia, life presented an array of blessings and challenges from managing college while working full time, to having a career while also becoming a parent, to being a single parent with the responsibility of raising 3 kids.

But she proved to herself and others over and over that success always came down to 5 key elements: effective communication skills, effective social skills and coping skills, healthy living and a clear sense of purpose and self-love – all of which results in self-confidence. And sharing these tenets with her kids, grand kids and now youth across the globe has been her mission.

In fact, I became so inspired by my mom’s wisdom after experiencing the real-life results first-hand, that even though I had started a successful career in IT, I took a mission-driven leap of faith, joined forces with my mom, and together, since 2015, we have been empowering Teens and Tweens with those important life skills so youth can feel happier, more connected and empowered.

Even though most Teens and Tweens are superstars at accessing any information they’re curious about, their communication skills, social skills, sense of purpose and self-love are frequently lacking, – which means confidence is missing! And when confidence is lacking, stress, resistance, fears and depression show up.

And unfortunately, the values parents are trying to teach their kids are frequently ignored. But Claudia has always been a firm believer that parents’ values need to be honored.

So, through mentorship, online courses, teen social hours and a variety of empowering resources, Claudia and I are fueled by the differences we see every day in the Teens and Tweens we have the privilege to work with.

For my mom Claudia and myself, there’s nothing more fulfilling than seeing a withdrawn, overwhelmed or agitated Teen or Tween transform into a confident, happy, empowered youth who’s on a mission to make a difference for themself, and for others!

And I have no doubt that together we can empower your Teen or Tween to achieve this life transformation, too!
