“The least effective way of influencing a teenager’s behavior is advice, criticism, and comparison.”
Think about that for a minute. How many of us are constantly giving our teens advice? Or criticizing them? Or comparing them with their siblings, their friends, or even our younger selves?
According to psychotherapist Sean Grover, those tactics don’t work, and could even damage your relationship with your child. (The quote above comes from our Q&A with Sean, which you can read here.) At our PA meeting on Monday, November 13, Sean will share useful insights gained through more than 25 years of professional experience working with families. He will answer your questions about social media, anxiety, academic performance, peer pressure, video gaming, substance abuse, or any other issues you’d like to bring up.
At the end of our meeting, he will raffle off a free consultation. The winning family will get a free session with Sean to discuss anything they want. Don’t miss out on this opportunity! See you at the PA meeting.
