#195 Courageous Conversations with Your Teens

Do you feel like you have real conversations with your teens? When we are in monitor mode we are not really having a conversation, we are just letting our teens know what we expect them to do.i Do you fall in the trap of asking your teen "how was your day," and they tell you "fine." Would you like to get past the one-word answer. In this episode I interview Elizabeth Bennett an award-winning Principal with over 35 years of experience in the school system as an educator and administrator. She coaches parents on how to have courageous conversations with their kids to build healthy and helpful relationships. Her new book, Courageous Conversations: A Guide for Parents to Understand and Connect with their Teens gives parents easy-to-implement strategies to create a powerful and loving relationship with their teen, without lectures, shame or guilt.
