How to Help Your Quinceanera Have Her Best Life

Why will making a mistake change a Latina’s life forever? Do you know the important secret to ensure your Quinceanera will be the Princess she deserves to be? And not have a life of the victim who lost out, because she made the wrong choices.

The news is blasting the latest scary statistics of the increase in teen dropouts and teen pregnancy. The numbers are increasing every week. Click here for the ABC news story on teen pregnancy.

Teen pregnancy is an epidemic!
Teen dropout is an epidemic!
Don’t let it happen to your daughter!

The secret to making sure your Quinceanera doesn’t fall victim of some boy who says, he ‘loves her’ just to get what he wants. She needs you to be her mentor. A mentor is a trusted guide.

Your daughter needs you more than ever before to listen without judging her. She needs guidance as to what are her best choices for her now and for her future. She needs to be guided as to what is the right choice and what is the wrong choice and why.

She needs someone who loves and accepts her for who she is.
If you don’t feel comfortable to discuss the challenging subjects such as sex and school and friends. You need to seek out another caring adult who you daughter feels comfortable with. Someone who will listen to her fears and hopes with compassion.

In my Quinceanera book, I discuss how to communicate with your daughter about her challenges and the choices she makes.

The section for parents…’Parent Talk’ is a guide for parents’ of teens and how to handle their new role.

Now is the perfect time when you’re planning your daughter’s Quince celebration to develop an even closer mother-daughter relationship that will grow forever.

You need to make sure your Quinceanera completes her high school education and doesn’t become a teen mother.

Giving your daughter a beautiful Quince Celebration is wonderful, but what your daughter also needs is a MOM who will listen to her and who she can trust.

This is the time for the Latina to have the life her ancestors wouldn’t have been able to have.

All the best,

Priscilla
