ICYMI: I. Just. Can't. Why Teens Have So Much Drama and How You Can Help

Send us Fan MailICYMI the first time - or need reminding, as your teens go back to school -- and the drama that will surely commence....Teens and preteens are full of drama - the gossip and fighting, the problems and issues, the relationships that come and go and come again, the frenemies and crushes,  the ups and the downs,  the loves and the hates, the extremes , the exasperation – I JUST CAN’T! When we say drama, it’s really just a shortcut for saying that our teens lack social and emotional skills. There’s a social-emotional disconnect, and their brains aren't yet developed, which impacts their social skills. While we can't make their brains develop faster, we can use their drama as a way to help thm build skills around decision making, perspective, mindfulness and empathy.Thank you for listening and being part of this community!
