A Conversation for Teens and Parents: Creating Supportive Relationships
Feb 23, 2024I heard that there was a special audience member: my friend's son loves listening to Family in Focus along with mom (he doesn't want to hear her input, but he's absorbing the conversations that we're having on the podcast: a reminder to me to use my strengths wisely.) ;-) So now I know, while I speak to adults, sometimes kids are listening, and as it appears, by choice! (yes, I will mark explicit when appropriate -- and you choose which topics to share with the kids)
This is an episode I invite you to share with the kids, especially teens. It's the submission I made for the Teen Health 360 program at EVMS - the Eastern Virginia Medical School, where their mission is "Empowering teens to make informed decisions about their relationships, health and well-being." I wholeheartedly agree with that mission!
They recently asked community members to answer the question, "What does a supportive relationship look like between an adult and a teen?" I answered the question from the perspective of what we as adults can do to promote and create supportive relationships with teens. We have a big role to play. When I went to submit, I realized that the question was being posed more about engaging teens with creating supportive relationships with adults. So it was game on! I responded with WHY on earth would they ever want to connect with adults, and the concept of creating your own A-Team.
