Is there such a thing as a thriving adolescence?

We see adolescence with new eyes

Our vision is to change the way people think about adolescence and to give parents a positive perspective that brings out the best in their young ones

We aim to strengthen the bond between parents and adolescents, giving families the expert knowledge and tools to navigate this transformative and crucial phase with empathy, understanding, and optimism.

The world needs
better-formed parents

It’s easy to surrender and neglect the critical role we parents play in accompanying our children in such a life-changing journey. Either as their behaviour is unreasonably challenging ( likely because their adolescence catches us by surprise and we don’t bother to understand them, really ), or because their behaviour is reasonably alarming ( amidst worries about screen addiction, mental health, social media, anxiety, stress, risky behaviours and other concerns ).

The Challenges We See

Meaning to life

Covid has had a tremendous impact. Unfortunately, we live in a world of many mental health problems. Fake news. Instant rewards. Impossible perfection. Noise. Selfishness. Lack of respect. No time for others.

Guidance & support

The teenage years are the last opportunity parents have to accompany young people before they land into adulthood.

Mental Health

We live in a hyper-stimulated world where managing all this stimulation often produces anxiety and depression; we curb creativity and the capacity for wonder.

Perseverance

The only two things in this life that make us happy or bring us closer to the concept of happiness have to do with love and work. And neither of them is based on instant gratification. They require perseverance.

Enjoy the journey

Happiness is not what happens to us but how we interpret what happens to us with a positive mindset. We learn this at home and at school. We believe it’s worth it that we all, parents, teachers and students, become proficient in:

  • Recognising any behaviour as an attempt to meet a necessity.
  • Discerning how to listen to others’ needs.
  • Looking at others from a new perspective, then communicating.
  • Looking for an emphatic connection that allows everyone’s needs to be met.

FAQ

Why WeSee?

We bring a fresh and empowering perspective on parenting and educating young people within the challenges of today’s world. WeSee is born from the affirmation that when we put ourselves in another person’s shoes, we can understand why others behave the way they do. We aim to show that we are often shortsighted, and by using a pair of glasses as a metaphor, we will be able to see better and view things from different angles.

Who is the audience?

We, parents, are the primary educators. We influence our children and improve their quality of life crucially. We are responsible for guiding them to reason correctly and ensuring that they grow in essential virtues: sincerity, generosity, hard work, humility, courage. We’re responsible for raising self-aware, self-confident, self-driven, self-disciplined, self-giving, responsible, positive, empathetic, accountable, independent, and kind teenagers.

How are we funded?

We are an educational non-profit organisation registered in England and Wales as a Community Interest Company (Registered Charity 15077854). We exist thanks to grants and the support and funding of friends, family, and generous donors who believe in us.
