Parent Rite of Passage Event

Stop Parenting - Start Mentoring!


Learn How to Mentor Your Son So the Lessons He Learns at The YMUW Become Permanent

While your son is attending the YMUW, we highly recommend that all parents participate in an in-person Parent Rite of Passage Event and in our online course. These two activities have helped parents just like you to enjoy more caring and cooperative relationships with your spouse and son.

1)  An in-person rite of passage for parents which will initiate you into a new, more effective way of parenting your son. This rare, live event will show you how to masterfully mentor your son so that he can calmly, clearly and confidently handle his transition from boyhood to adulthood.

2) An online course that will teach you how to more effectively use your authority and influence with your son in a way that minimizes conflict and maximizes cooperation.

You’ll learn a new method of parenting teens that will foster the healthy development of your son’s emotional intelligence, whether your son is an extrovert or introvert, over-empowered or under-driven, overconfident or unwilling, entitled or indifferent.

Motivate Your Son More Effectively - Without Nagging or Yelling
The in-person rite of passage and the online course are led by Dr. Mark Schillinger, YMUW Founder, and past YMUW President, David Bohegian. Together, they’ll mentor you so that you’ll be able to skillfully guide your son in a way that will motivate him to become more cooperative inside of your home, more responsible outside of your home, more confident of himself and more relaxed with the world.

Their original method of parenting, The RIGHT Way for Family Unity, integrates practical ancestral wisdom from small tribes, and combines it with the best insight from the sciences of positive discipline, stress management, adolescent brain development, personal growth and parent-child bonding.

Important Note: Your son may be suffering from the anxiety and stress of being overly attached to his digital devices and consistently having to handle school responsibilities.

Our system of mentoring young men will provide you with a clear roadmap that will allow him to overcome these obstacles. By using this method, you’ll be able to confidently lead your son in the right direction.

Is It Mandatory That Parents Participate?  
It’s been our experience that when parents and their sons are using the same technology that encourages shared values like respect, cooperation and resilience,  they have a much higher probability that they’ll achieve the true family unity they desire.

That said, it is not a requirement that you attend this workshop in order for your son to participate in the YMUW. We have an open-door policy, so if parents change their mind when they drop off their sons at the YMUW, they can still attend!

The Rite of Passage/Workshop Testimonials

 I am still on a high from the parenting weekend. Miguel has come home so different from the YMUW, and I’ve been practicing the the techniques already. It’s been amazing. Transformative. Thank you for bringing this to our family."
Andrea Brown
 I left Dr. Mark’s Rite of Passage workshop with a plan of action. I’m far more confident in my abilities as a parent to raise a young man."
Bret Smith
 Before we met Mark, the three of us were fighting all of the time. Our home life was awful. Mark’s methods are like having a training manual on how to raise a teenage son. With the aid of direct training with Mark, we’ve experienced a complete turn-around. Now we spend our time together in laughter, discussion and creative pursuits."
Regean Salais
Through heartfelt, truthful sharing, and with the skill of Mark, the rite of passage workshop took us on both a personal and communal journey. The results were profound insights and learned practical strategies for parenting from a place of love and authority with our children.” 
Dan Pomeroy
The parenting workshop taught us parenting skills that need to be used in today’s current world in which our sons are growing up in. It takes a community to raise a teen and Mark will guide you how to make it happen for you."
Marcella Hauser
  I really appreciated the emphasis on the importance of the parents having a “Way” in their life so that their children can develop their own way. This is a unique perspective… It takes a community to raise a teen and Mark will guide you on how to make it happen.”
