How good do you feel you are at doing things?
Summer is a great time to start conversations with your teen! Use the extra time with them while they are home to get curious and ask open-ended questions.
To help, we’ve designed this series to be a quick, fun way to get everyone talking. Listen together with your teen, or by yourself. You might be surprised at how willing teenagers are to talk when they get started!
In episode 62, Kelly Fann joins Chris to discuss encouraging teens to improve their current skills and to gain new ones with a growth mindset.
Talk through these with your teen after this podcast ends!
