Hi, I'm Melissa Gendreau,
Hi, I’m Melissa – a Licensed Mental Health Therapist since 2009, a Christian coach, a wife, and a mom of two teens. Over the years, I've worked at three different residential facilities for teens. I've seen teens struggle. I've dealt with the hard topics. I know the temptations our teens face. Please allow me to equip you through this Christian Parenting Teens Course so your teens can benefit and, hopefully, avoid unnecessary pain.Â

Why Most Christian Parents Struggle to Support Their Teens - How to Equip Yours
Parenting teens can feel overwhelming—but God hasn’t left you without help. This course gives you Scripture-rich guidance and practical tools to lead with humble confidence, protect your relationship, and point your teen toward Christ through every season and situation.
In This Course, you'll get Lifetime Access to help you...
- Navigate the teen years with confidence instead of fear. You’ll replace anxiety and second-guessing with Scripture-rooted peace, knowing God’s design for your role as a parent and your teen’s journey toward adulthood.
-
Build stronger, more open communication with your teen. Learn practical, biblical tools to speak truth in love, listen without defensiveness, and create conversations that foster trust rather than distance.
-
Help your teen develop their own faith and identity in Christ. Move beyond control to gentle guidance, helping them own their relationship with God and discover their unique purpose without pressure or perfectionism.
- Equip your teen to maneuver difficult topics and situations with truth and confidence. Learn how to approach sensitive or complex topics with your teen so that they are ready for whatever society throws at them.Â
It is not beneficial for our teens to be raised in a bubble. As much as we want to shelter them from harsh, horrendous real-world situations, they need to know what they are up against. And they need to know what God says about these topics and why He tells us not to engage in these situations.

Living in the Word: A Guide for Parents of Teens
The teen years are difficult to navigate for everyone involved, and our current society isn't making it any easier.Â
The premise of this course is to help you, as the parent of your teen, think through and process twenty topics so that you can feel more equipped to discuss them with your teen.
The modules will start with foundational topics of faith, personal development, and maturity. The topics will then move on to more complex, societally relevant issues your teen is facing.
Each topic will begin with education on the relevant issue from a biblical perspective, along with my professional experience as a therapist, working with children, teens, and families since 2009.Â
It would be an honor to help you guide your teens to become the person God designed them to be.

"The course brought up topics we didn't know how approach before (self-harm, sex, suicide). The worksheets were helpful so we could reflect before talking about the topic with our teen. I wish we would have had this course a few years ago."

"This course helped us talk about topics we didn't know our daughter was already dealing with at school. She completed the worksheets with us but also wanted to read the workbook, too. This course helped her to feel comfortable to talk about issues she didn't think we'd understand. It really has helped our relationship!"
