“How to Communicate with your Teen” by Mary Eschen – Recap
Excellent talk on how to better communicate with your teen.  Mary promotes a “consultative” style of parenting with teens instead of a “helicopter” or “drill sergeant” approach.  The more we can steer our teens to taking responsibility for their actions and results the more successful they will be.  The more we do for them, the more they will depend on us and isn’t the goal to make them independent by the time they graduate???  Mary shared that teens that don’t learn to make their own decisions and learn how to fail, often have a hard time going out on their own and have a higher likelihood of coming back home from college.  Oh no!  To learn more about her lecture check out her Powerpoint Presentation and resources.  We learned a lot of good tips on how to communicate with our teens and how not to get emotional.
