#050 Kristen Goodman // Navigating Friendships and Social Media with Teens

Jan 23, 2019

My Chat with Kristen from Be Living Proof was exactly what I needed...a fellow mom of teens, discussing how to be the best parent we can for those pre-adults. Teaching "life isn't fair" and the sooner you realize that, the better! 

We discussed:

• teens choosing friends
• finding new friends when current friends are making different choices
• how to teach them to have the confidence to make decisions other than their friends
• Device rules, filters, and flexibility of rules
• Social media
• comparisons

We talked about the age she gave her oldest a phone, and the funny story behind that!  

And we have the same FAVORITE PARENTING BOOK, but she's actually read past where I have, and I learned something I need to go look up in that book!
