Guiding Teens Through an Emotional Time


 Annie Fox offers some helpful tools for coaching our kids through challenging situations.  We need to begin by meeting our teen where he or she is.  Ask questions, find out what is going on and LISTEN. This process will help them to calm down and begin to recognize what their options are.  In Chapter 6, 3-in-1 Oil: The Art of Compromise, we use a model of ABCDE:   Ask, Brainstorm, Choose, Do & Evaluate.  Easy to follow and it really helps!
