The Greatest Gift You Can Give Teens with Debi Ronca

Dr. Cam is joined by Debi Ronca, the Founder and CEO of Sequoia Coaching. Debi’s best-selling book, The Family Letter, is having a powerful impact on families all over the world. Her desire and dream are to have her book create a global movement, creating a profound and transformational impact on the family unit.
Some highlights from this episode:• Everyone has a longing to be known, loved, valued, and celebrated, and this is not just for adults, it is for teens as well. • Your teen has a desire to be heard, and in this time of establishing who they are, or their identity, they need a safe place to share what they are processing. • Unconditional love goes a long way. They will remember that they are loved, and so trust will be developed.
Debi has also generously offered to give her transformative book to listeners for FREE (all you have to pay is the shipping). If you're interested, send her a message through her Facebook account: @authordebironca.

Modeling Good (and Not So Good) Behavior

Teens don't listen to what we SAY, they watch what we DO. If your teen is behaving in a way that drives you nuts, you may want to take a close look at your own actions--chances are they are learning those behaviors from you! Dr. Cam shares an example from a recent experience with her own teen daughter.

Teaching Teens Constructive Complaining
