Joyful Courage for Parenting Teens

Eps 528: Helping teenagers make better decisions with Dain Heer


Listen Later

My guest today is Dain Heer and we’re talking about helping teenagers make better decisions through judgment, communication, & choices. We discuss how to react when we know our teenagers are making decisions that (we believe) aren’t in their best interest. Dain shares tools & strategies for communicating with others, including our youth, when they have different points of view. We talk about the difference between teaching right and wrong versus the power of choices. We get into the feeling of urgency & reactivity that comes with raising our kids.  


Takeaways from the show

  • Access Consciousness 
  • The importance of feeling seen 
  • What gets in the way of being seen without judgment?

  • “Your choice creates” language
  • Teens haven’t developed their filters 
  • Awareness comes from experiences 
  • The urgency & reactivity that comes from raising adolescents
