Biggest Takeaways: There are several life skills your teen won’t learn in school (i.e. taking the initiative and being resourceful.) It’s best to be deliberate and intentional about teaching your teen the necessary life skills (they won’t necessarily pick them up just by watching you.) Your teen may look like an adult and often act like an adult, but she has to work on developing her executive function because it’s not fully matured until the early 20’s – it doesn’t come naturally without training. Noelle Ward shares the top 5 things to start working on with your teen now. She also shares the top concerns she hears from parents and teens (hint: they’re not the same!) There are some interesting new trends in post-secondary education.
