    I hope you’ll tune in this week as I highlight chapters 4, 5, and 6 of Positive Discipline for Teens by Jane Nelsen and Lynn Lott. These chapters dig into powerful mindset shifts around mistakes, motivation, and communication—areas where so many of us Gen X parents were shaped differently. When stress hits, it's easy to default to what we know. But there’s a different way. Let’s explore how connection, curiosity, and emotional growth can transform how we show up for our teens.
