Are the parents in your community overwhelmed, disconnected, or discouraged?

You’re not alone. Across the country, schools and nonprofits are seeing these signs:

  • Parents struggling to discipline effectively without anger or fear
  • Minimal parental engagement in schools or programs
  • High-risk youth behavior linked to inconsistent family guidance
  • Breakdowns in communication between parents and children
  • Parents feeling powerless to shape their child’s values or choices

These are symptoms of a deeper problem: 

Many parents were never taught how to address these issues and begin to feel inadequate:

“I’m doing the best I can, but it doesn’t feel like enough.”

“They’re glued to their phone and don’t talk to me.”

“I’m scared I’m losing them.”

“How do I keep my child safe and still give them freedom?”

“Parenting is so different than when I was growing up… am I doing it wrong?”

Some parents are seeking answers to:

“How do I set boundaries with my child without pushing them away?”

“How can I get my child to open up and talk to me?”

“What do I do when my child is disrespectful?”

“How can I protect them from social media without being the ‘mean parent’?”

“What’s the right balance of discipline and freedom?”

That’s where Parents on a Mission steps in.
