Hey Reel Talkers,  

Wednesday is back and more fearless than ever.  

Episodes three and four will get the conversations between you and your teens flowing and you will have more fun and connection than you ever thought possible. 

It's been shown that strong family relationships and conversation will decrease the incidence of future high risk behaviors.  

Here are some great questions to start off the fun conversations: 

Secrets are like zombies they never truly die. What secrets are you keeping that don’t seem to die? Would it be easier to just tell the truth or to continue to tell lies?

Is there anyone that you are truly scared of? Do you believe in hell or revenge? Anyone in history or life ever really make you feel scared?

There are monsters everywhere. What are the present day monsters that we are encountering? Diseases, racism etc?

Wednesday on Netflix.  Are you talking about this character with your teen yet?  Join us to listen and start better conversations with your own son & daughter!

There are some great questions to talk about while watching Wednesday. 

Do you ever have the impulse to seek revenge for someone who was mean to you?

How can you show someone you love them without saying it?  

In what ways are we more like our parents than we want to admit?

Does crying mean that you're weak?

Building better conversations with teens by talking about TEEN TV.

Here we are diving into the netflix series "Wednesday" but watch out for piranhas!  Wednesday is popular Netflix TV series based on the sour/empowered character Wednesday Addams 

Angi is talking with her 17 year old daughter about the character and what constitutes "niceness". How do we know someone is "nice" or "mean"?

This is such an important topic when we think about the people we chose to have in our lives.  

We will discuss emotional lessons for EVERY EPISODE, new podcasts out weekly.

You'll have better and more conversations than you ever thought possible.

Angi and Dr. Nikki are discussing Never Have I Ever (TV show on Netflix) Season 3, episodes 7 and 8.  

Seems like Devi is starting to let go of her sadness and find some joy in her relationship with Des.  BFFs Fabiola and Aneesa are trying to figure out the status of their relationship.  Let's talk about it.  A few light questions to find out what your teen thinks and get the conversation started.

Aneesa and Fabiola came out as a couple and found themselves very awkward while kissing. What does it mean if kissing or hugging seeks awkward in a romantic relationship?

Can you stay friends if you previously had a romantic relationship?

Fewer Accusations.  More honesty.  

More talk and more trust.

You and your children are completely worthy and lovable no matter what you do and can never lose it.  It is your birthright as a human on this planet!  I want you to find a picture of yourself and your child/children from under the age of 12 and memorize that image of innocence. You can always look at the essence of the person inside and remember the wonderful human being that you and your child/children are.

More open conversations. Less Drama

Using Teen TV as a launch point for discussions on Emotional Well-Being. 

Ben and Devi share that relentless obsession to prove that they are smart.  Insight into the male perspective on insecurity here.

Checking out Never Have I Ever  on NETFLIX (Season 3 episodes 5 and 6).  Looks like maybe Ben is lovable (no matter where he goes to college).  Sometimes we can make ourselves sick just trying to impress other people.

If you want to know more about what it would be like to work together, get in touch for  a free consultation.  

Less Yelling.  More Trust.

Ever notice how we all (not just teens) look for someone else to approve of us...so that we can feel like worthy/good/valuable humans? Why do we DO that? Is it possible to know that you are a great person even if that CRUSH doesn't tell you that?

Angi and Dr. Nikki are diving deep into Never Have I Ever Season 3 episodes 3 and 4.  Can we expect that a relationship  (or anything external?!?!??) will make you feel whole, satisfied or confident?  Will I be confident if I have another piercing? If I have the right clothes? If I say the right thing?  

Grab some popcorn and start talking.  

More conversations, more insights.  Less door slamming.
