Children have been negatively impacted socially by school closures and restrictions imposed as a result of the global pandemic. Not only was academic achievement directly affected, but also social development, as well. With so much discussion centered around the impact of COVID-19 on social development for young children, more conversations need to be had surrounding the impact that this has had on teens!

This episode focuses on identifying the social lag in teens during this time, what parents can do to help them catch up, and why it is important to do so as it relates to skills they will need as they matriculate into adulthood without being stuck in collective trauma mode.

Special guest, Simone Ross, has dedicated her life's work to ensuring that parents and youth know exactly how they need to prepare for a world beyond high school - academically, socially, and emotionally.
