A Message From Maya
There comes a time in every child’s life when they begin to walk with a rhythm that’s not quite yours anymore. Their voice deepens or sharpens, their eyes question what once they accepted, and the air in your home shifts—not into silence, but into searching.
Your teen is not lost.
They are becoming.
They are stretching out their soul to see where it fits, and pulling back from you, not because they no longer need you, but because they hope they can still find you when they return.
This is not the end of your parenting.
It is the beginning of your most powerful work.
You are not helpless.
You are holy ground.
You are the teacher they may resist, but still remember.
You are the soft place they’ll pretend they don’t need, but secretly check for.
You are the whisper of wisdom that will echo long after they leave the room.
I wrote Raising Reliable Rebels not because I mastered parenting, but because I refused to give up on it.
This method is not a rulebook. It is a reflection—a way for you to choose, with clarity and courage, how to raise teenagers who are both independent and dependable.
Rebels, yes—but reliable ones.
Grounded in purpose, guided by love.
You are equipped, even when you feel unsure.
You are the answer, even when they roll their eyes.
You are the difference, even when the world distracts them.
Raise your child like the world depends on it—because it does.
And may you do it with heart, with wisdom, and without apology.
With you in every step,
Maya

What Parents Are Saying
Luis M., father of a 16-year-old
My son has ADHD, and we've tried everything—from apps to afterschool programs. But the brain focus tutoring with Maya’s method was the first thing that actually helped him feel in control of his focus. He loved the creative writing track. He even asked to keep journaling after the sessions ended. That has never happened before.
