Ask Lisa: The Psychology of Raising Tweens & Teens

82: How Should Kids Spend Summer 2022?


Listen Later

Dr. Lisa runs down the five things she believes parents should focus on in summer 2022. The pandemic narrowed kids' opportunities for growth, but there's now a lot adults can do to help children and teenagers catch up. Dr. Lisa and Reena discuss advice that might seem counterintuitive - such as the importance of encouraging kids to take some risks.
