Summary:
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 59, Kelly Fann is back with Karlie to talk about integrity and setting healthy boundaries.
Question:
How comfortable are you saying “no” when someone crosses your boundaries?
Talk through these with your teen after this podcast ends!
- What is something you said “yes” to when you should have said “no”?
- How did that impact you?
- When is a time someone said “no” to you, and you really appreciated it?
- What are some things you could do to make saying “no” easier?
