Parents

Being a parent is arguably one of the most challenging and most eye-opening experiences a person can have in their lifetime. They say it shapes you and molds you and ultimately changes the person you are for the rest of your life. While not all of us are lucky enough to have our parents still around, those of us who are should be taking advantage of all of the knowledge they have to share.    

• Do you REALLY know what your teen is going through on a daily basis?

• If you were asked to name the two main issues your teen is dealing with, what would they be? Do you think they are the same as what your teen would answer? 

• Do you know what your teen is doing on social media?

• Does your teen have a written plan for the future? If so, who gave it to them? When was it last updated? Is it perfect or flawed?

• Do you facilitate open communication around tough, hard to bring up topics? What might you be missing or just don't know?

• How prepared are you to tackle issues proactively instead of just reacting?

• Is your teen on his/her way to living out their purpose, or is he/she going through life wandering aimlessly in isolation?
