Welcome to the Holiday Hugs Challenge!

If you’re parenting a teen or emerging adult, you already know there are big shifts ahead. The road from student life to independent adulthood can be exciting—and challenging for everyone.

Holiday Hugs is a 10-day, parent-focused challenge designed to strengthen your rapport and keep communication open during a season when stress is high and emotions are close to the surface.

How the Challenge Works

WATCH

Watch the short daily video (quick encouragement + one clear focus)

ACT

Take one small action to practice the skill immediately

SHIFT

Repeat daily and watch what shifts in your home

This challenge is for you if ...

You’re parenting a teen or emerging adult
You want better conversations and fewer “tension moments”
You want to be a steady anchor as your teen grows toward independence
You want a simple structure you can actually stick to

This is a parent-focused challenge.

Hello

I'm Tonda Bean, MBA, MSOD

I’m the founder of Wisdom In Minutes, where we help families connect high school → college → career so students can move toward independent adulthood with confidence.

I created the Holiday Hugs Challenge because teens respond to our words, tone, and consistency—sometimes more than they’ll ever admit.

As a parent, bringing intention to our communications with our teens helps us to maintain the strong, loving relationships that are needed in the future.

By the end of Day 10, you'll be able to ...

Create more positive moments with your teen (without forcing it)
Strengthen the kind of rapport that keeps your teen “in the loop”
Build more joy and cooperation during the holiday season and beyond
