In this interview with "Matt" we have help from an inside, high level source (his full identity and staff position are private for professional reasons) on how sexual predators groom teenagers and trap them into horrific situations that are every parents worst nightmare.  We were extremely shocked to find out how prevalent these teen sex predators are, and how quick and cunning their tactics can be.  If you son or daughter has a cell phone then you need to be in the know. This podcast will cue you in on what to look out for, and the common practices these predators use to lure in their prey. Please share this episode with EVERY parent you know, as it could save a child or teenagers life by helping them avoid becoming a victim.   ----more---- To enroll your teen in the next TEEN MINDSET TRANSFORMATION LIVE, ONLINE 8-WEEK COURSE w/ Coach Forrest Folen text "TEEN" to 760-593-4238.

In this episode of the Parent Teen Mindset Show, Forrest and Beau interview licensed mental health counselor, Margarita Donies, on the subject of SELF WORTH. As we all know, a low sense of self-worth at minimum will prevent our teens from being more outgoing, trying new things, meeting new people, and will make them feel "less" in school and in life.  At its worst, a low self worth can cause teens to fall to peer pressure, become victims of abuse and bullying, and cause a teen to settle for the lowest common denominator in school and in life.  When a teen has high sense of self worth, they are more apt to try new things, to speak and act confidently, to be a leader, to make new friends, and to make choices based on their sense of who they are and their core values.  Obviously we want our teen to have as much self worth as possible, but how do we get there? Why is it that some teenagers have high self-esteem and some struggle with it? What role does the teens parents and environment play in developing self worth? How can we help develop our teens sense of value, self worth, and self esteem? These are all questions that Margarita answers in this podcast episode. Please share this episode, IT TAKES A VILLAGE!  ----more---- Margarita C. Donies is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP).

In this episode we have the hard conversation of grief and loss when it comes to our teens.  Your hosts, Beau Blouin and Forrest Folen, interview Elta Ampadu, and we discover more on the topic of loss than we ever thought we could.  For parents to be able to support their teens and young adults during periods of loss or grief, we need to build awareness around the issue.  When we talk about the mindset of success for teens, it really goes hand-in-hand with dealing for life's traumas and hardships. Whether it's the loss of a loved one such as a friend or family member, a death of a pet, or even the loss that comes with moving to another school, or moving on from a bad relationship, there's always hurt, pain, suffering, and trauma.   In this podcast, Elta Ampadu helps us navigate this difficult terrain and we discover that it is manageable.  We can learn to heal and move forward in a healthy way.  Please share this podcast with a friend or family member to let them know you care and that they are not alone.   "Together we can do it!"
