Here are show’s highlights, however, I would encourage you to listen to the replay and then share it with others. Remember our show is also available on iTunes and Stitcher.
- The reminder that there is a need for connection for teens. If we don’t connect with them, they will find other sources to connect with.
- The power of being present with our teenagers.
- The gift of allowing other adults to speak into a teenagers life.
- Encouragement to keep pushing past the barriers teenagers sometimes put up.
- Trusting your gut when it tells you help is needed and the encouragement to not let a spouse stop you from seeking out help for your child.
- There is power in simple statements and words. I love you, I need you, I believe in you, and I appreciate you are great examples of life changing statements.
THANK YOU for joining me this week as we talk about gaining focus through adversity. A special thanks to those that continue to share our show with others.
