One of my goals as a mom has been to cultivate an atmosphere where my kids can tell me anything. While I'm sure there are a few things they've chosen not to share, I'm thankful when they tell me Hard Things–about stupid decisions (yes, stupid…I started to use the word "poor" and it's just not strong enough…) they've made, about the heart-breaking choices their friends have made, and about life in general for the teen and 20-something set.
Today , a Power Hour (there are a few definitions for it…) and how a few are redefining it and turning a bleak negative into a bright positive. I'm throwing in a little parenting advice, too. Imagine that… ~ wink ~.
I'd be grateful if you read and share it with parents of teenagers and others who work with this age group.
