What Keeps a High School Principal up at Night? Principal Peter Glahn on the Modern Teen

“I think the biggest difference between how kids were back when I was younger and how they are now, manifests itself at a High School dance... I worry that there is a fear of intimacy, and I'm not talking about sexual intimacy.” What keeps a High School principal up at night? Find out with Principal Peter Glahn-- as he shares the evolution of adolescent resilience, the culture of unity formed from school programs and extracurriculars, the power of relationship and the irreplaceable practice of peer interaction. From slow dances to smartphones, learn what life might just be like for the teens in your life... after all, principals and teachers could potentially see more and know more-- being with our kids all day in, day out.  Tune in for this one, on this week of Finding Noble! 00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome01:13 Principal Glahn's Journey to Education02:35 Challenges and Rewards of Being a Principal07:17 Impact of Extracurricular Activities09:14 Social Dynamics and Technology13:52 COVID-19's Impact on Students19:03 Addressing Bullying in Schools21:46 Addressing Criticism and Respect22:04 Parental Reactions and Curiosity22:48 Mob Mentality and Peer Influence24:04 Handling Bullying: School and Home Approaches25:55 Motivating Bullies to Shift to Positive Influencers26:56 Teenagers and Human Connection33:02 Parenting Teenagers: Balancing Authority and Relationship39:35 Concluding Thoughts and Future Conversations ⁠⁠⁠https://findingnoble.com/⁠⁠⁠ We are hoping to help homes, families and educators everywhere… so please  like, review, subscribe and...  even share with friends and family looking for parenting support.
