Hey Hey Reel Talkers,

Angi and Dr. Nikki are back and heading into Season 4 of Never Have I Ever, episodes 1 and 2, and oh my god, there are many issues to dig into, and we are digging in!

Here are some of the important questions that we explore and open for you and your teen to discuss.

1) Can you be "bad" at Sex? What makes someone "good" at sex?

2) Should relationships be easy? Should there only be good feelings?

3) Why do you think guys seem to like robotics more than girls?

4) What is the "hot pocket". Who is the "hot pocket" in your life or school?

5) Do we tend to be attracted to people who are not the best fit? Why do you think?

Ginny and Austin hop on the motorcycle and ride off into the unknown evening.

Do you feel like Ginny betrayed Max by not telling her about sleeping with Marcus? What do you think she is most upset about?

If you were to run away where would you run to?

Hey Reel Talkers,

We are starting to dive into the complicated lives of Ginny and Georgia. Angi is a little leary about all of the confusing messages for young girls. I think that it is the best opportunity to tease out where we take in confusing messages about the way we influence people in a sexist society.

Here are some great questions to begin with so you can have your first really great fun conversation.

Passion, Power do we always have to get something for sex? Do we always have to get

Do we believe that we can change our circumstance and then be happy, like Georgia moving

Is stability crucial for children in their formative years?  What are the different ways you could feel stable or grounded?

Do people usually do the opposite of what their parents are like?  If the mom is not responsible than the child

Hey Reel Talkers! 

Welcome to the season finale of Wednesday episode 7 and 8. 

This finale is definitely all a finale should be.  Wednesday dies and then is reborn, a monster is caught and a mystery solved.  New friends, a first kiss and a breakup.  

Here are some great questions to start the conversatioms:

Do you believe that other people’s annoying habits are really annoying or do they remind you of something related to your past?

Should we call people out on their annoying habits or work on being less annoyed?

Hey Hey Reel Talkers, 

So exciting to continue to watch the wacky and wonderful adventures of Wednesday Addams episodes 5 and 6.  Pull up a piece of couch, a warm blanky and a fun snack and get ready to have better conversations with your teens than you ever thought possible. Here are some fun and meaningful questions to get the ball rolling. 

Wednesday being hunted and almost killed being the best part of the school. Is there any way that angst could be considered good for learning? 

Interesting that Enid’s mother considers her a huge disappointment because she is not doing what the family expects “wolfing out”. What does your family expect of based on culture, wants, religion and up-bringing?

Hey Reel Talkers,

We are talking about WEDNESDAY, the Netflix series (Season 1 episode 5 and 6) and boy are things heating up.  Such great conversation to be had about trust and friendships.

Ideas to talk over with your teen:

Wednesday said being hunted and almost killed she considered one of  the best parts of attending Nevermore. Is there any way that angst could be considered healthy/good-for-you or valuable learning? 

What does your family expect of YOU based on their culture, wants, religion and up-bringing?

Wednesday mentions that Gomez taught her how to be strong and independent in a treacherous and prejudiced world. "As far as fatherhood goes, you were perfectly adequate."-- How have your parents been helpful in what they have tried to teach you?

To work with us directly and quickly have your own meaningful, relaxed conversations without arguing with your teen.
