Partnership in Teen Well-being: A Guide for Parents
Welcome, dear Parent. If you’re here, you’re looking for more than just another app or resource—you’re looking for a partner in your teen’s journey toward health and well-being.
The Mindfulness Matters movement aims to empower teens struggling and suffering from the societal and social failings of modern life that have led to record levels of anxiety, overwhelm and depression, and the alarming statistic of suicide as the second-leading cause of death among teens. Whether it’s technologies with the sole agenda of hijacking their vulnerable attention no matter the cost to mental health, pharmaceutical companies pushing drugs as the solution, or big corporations peddling processed foods and toxins, teens are surrounded by money-first agendas. It’s time for a health-first agenda.
Mindfulness Matters is a sanctuary of support for teens to access their optimal well-being, mind, body and spirit. Grounded in the science of mindfulness and positive psychology, the Mindfulness Matters program arms teens with the skills and tools to reclaim their focus and attention, prioritize nourishment and vitality in their bodies, and discover and align with their true purpose. This holistic system leads to thriving young people who we can trust to take charge of the planet, poised to be adult leaders of integrity, confidence, and efficacy.
It takes a village for any of us to thrive, and when the entire family system (parents, siblings, teachers, friends, community members and planet!) plays a role, we all benefit.
You are the most important guide in your teen’s life. This space is designed not only to empower your child but to equip you with the knowledge and confidence to support them and yourself.

Your Essential Role in the Journey
Well-being is a shared language. By joining the Mindfulness Matters movement, you acquire the vocabulary and tools to better connect with your teen during this crucial phase of their development.
How to Engage with Your Teen’s Journey:
Shared Language: Learn the principles of mindfulness, positive psychology and well-being alongside your teen, allowing you to discuss concepts like stress, emotions, integrity and resilience using a common framework.
Parent-Specific Insights: Detail any parent-only workshops, emails, or courses that help teens apply lessons to family dynamics.
Focus on Modeling: We provide guidance on how to model the lessons—such as calming your nervous system and setting boundaries—so your home environment reinforces the positive changes your teen is learning.
Finding Your Own Path to Optimal Well-being
Mindfulness Matters isn't just for teens; it's for everyone seeking to live mindfully and move from surviving to thriving. The same proven wisdom and practical strategies Pax Tandon teaches your child can transform your own experience of parenting and life.
You deserve to feel centered, focused, and resilient. Utilize the core lessons to reduce your own parental stress, improve focus at work, and cultivate a deeper sense of peace and fulfillment. When you are well, your teen is better supported, and so is the world around you.
We are excited to partner with you in this life-changing movement!
