Teens Want to Problem Solve

Your teen doesn’t want you to swoop in and play the superhero, solving all of their problems. They’d like a chance to be the superhero in their own life, leaping over problems in a single bound. They just need a little guidance that matches their stage of development. Give them social skills so they can navigate relationships. Give them organizational strategies so they can stay on top of things. And give them self-advocacy skills so they can learn to speak up now and can solve even bigger problems later in life. They’ve got it (with your help).
