info_outlineWhat if it was possible for your teenager to feel less overwhelmed and stressed, and more independent and confident? The key, isn't to clear their schedule.

They absolutely can if they want to, but when the "shoulds" come into play, we can unintentionally stunt their ability to make choices and learn for themselves.
Learn about how inviting your teen (instead of "should-ing" your teen) can help them become who they were meant to be.
