When it comes to tweens and teens, I want you to imagine your tween or teen's emotional needs the same way you would think of being hungry. 

We all get hungry and need a variety of foods for our sustenance, welling-being, and health. Similarly, we have emotional hungers that need to be met in order to be emotionally healthy and thrive.

The truth…

Our kids are starving today – not only for food (we know how hungry teenagers can be) but also emotionally.

And how can we provide each of our kids with more of what they need?

Studies have been done that have shown that meeting our kids' emotional needs determines their success and happiness in life more than IQ and even more than getting good grades.

 

SEL is being taught now in our schools because it is being recognized as such an important component of our kids' success and happiness in life. 

It is the most important thing that we can do yet no one taught us in school how to meet these needs.

Find out what your tween or teen really needs and simple things that you can do to meet their needs to set them up for success in the ways that truly matter in life.
