2024-2025

As our teens enter their middle high school high school years it couldn’t be a better time to shower them with positive affirmations ! Hearing is believing ! Let them hear and use these positive words in their everyday life!! Praise pays off!

Moving further into this year of politics blanketed by violence. Help teens to remember that “change” comes from within your dialogue’s as parents and within them, as your teen!

Congratulate your kid(s) on the year and the journey they are about to start…

Stick with your teen though the changes they will endure, encourage them to see what is going on the world 🌎 no matter how difficult. They shouldn’t fear it – they should desire to be part of the solution.

Each generation  has new and unique opportunities to make change.Our teens of today should recognize their opportunities are not only wide open but important. Coming out of high school within years of Covid, the greatest international unrest ( as a parent I have been alive for) and the most charged presidential election of our times. It is not only the issues that are causing a great divide within our country but the actual candidates. Now, with social media and celebrity backing there is a different political landscape. Celebrities used to inform the public of their right to vote. Today they are choosing candidates.

The world seems to have come undone. However, history seems to always repeat itself. Hopefully, certain milestone changes in history ( in the US) will stick!

Implore your teen to think about what changes in history they are happy with and what more they’d like to see.

Challenge them on how to be a part of the “active leaders”and “change agents” of our society.  Teach them that daily change comes over time without hate, or violence.
Help them to understand how they can take small steps to  begin progress within school, their job, sport, music, or hobby? Let them see that change can start at any time, any age by anyone!
