Discover the secret to building strong, lasting connections with your preteens and teenagers! In this episode of Politically High Tech, we’re joined by Mr. Higgs, who shares his groundbreaking "Show Up" framework. You’ll learn how to navigate the complex world of adolescence and technology, ensuring your child’s mental well-being. With a wealth of experience and a multicultural perspective, Mr. Higgs provides invaluable insights into maintaining open dialogue and fostering self-reflection for parents.

We also explore the crucial shift in parenting strategies as your children seek independence. Our discussion sheds light on the transition from being authoritative figures to becoming supportive guides, and how to handle common misunderstandings with empathy. We delve into broader social issues, emphasizing the importance of character over superficial judgments. The concept of interdependence and self-care is highlighted, stressing that taking care of oneself is essential to effectively support others.

Finally, we address the challenges of social isolation and the impact of technology on your child’s social interactions. From nurturing a strong identity amid the digital age to the concept of "alloparenting," we cover practical strategies to counter anxiety and build trust. Introducing upcoming workshops, we provide tools for helping your preteens set rules and develop confidence through self-regulation. Listen in for a balanced approach to authority and autonomy, ensuring a positive and nurturing environment for your preteens and teenagers.
