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 61, Karlie shares about one particular group that shows the state of self-esteem in today’s teens, and Chris and Karlie discuss positive self-talk.
Question:

Talk through these with your teen after this podcast ends!
- When do you feel the best about yourself? What are you doing? Who are you around?
- How do you think social media impacts your self-esteem?
- What can you do to feel better about yourself?
