As kids enter their teen years, we often recognize some dramatic shifts in preferences, priorities, communication, and decision-making skills to name a few. Without understanding the larger context of how the brain develops during these years, we risk reacting instead of responding as we relate to them.

In this episode, I've invited Nicole Hunter to join me. Nicole has been investing in young people for years, as a youth pastor, a high school Bible teacher, and a parent of four now-adult children. Nicole does an incredible job at helping us understand what motivates teens, especially regarding shame triggers. She has some great suggestions for how to coach them through taking responsibility for their choices and developing more empathy as they connect with others.

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why a teen's vulnerabilities may trigger our own shame
• Why we need to be quicker to coach than criticize young people
• How often teens are questioning what is wrong with them
• Examples of behaviors that help teens avoid feeling shame
• Advice for how to strike a balance in encouraging your teen towards excellence without excessive pressure
