Just a quick share here.... Saw this gentleman (definitely not a teenager) playing video games between sets at the gym 😅🫠

To change things up a little today, here's two simple questions... What's your favorite place that you've been to multiple times? 😎 What's your dream destination? 🏝️ GIFs are highly encouraged for this one 😇

After describing reality instead of prescribing behavior, it can be easy to collapse back into a control mindset again when moving onto the next step of communicating with a teenager. Instead of “So you need to start going to the gym/So you need to spend more time outdoors” we want to aim for something like “What do you want to do with that?” Examples: - “What do you think is getting in the way?” - “If you wanted to change that, how would you approach it?” - “Does that matter to you or not really?” Now he’s not being told, he’s being positioned as the decision-maker. Just a thought so as NOT to trigger pushback from him.

Working on an exciting project that will help so many teen sons of single parents replace their screen addiction with social skills and confidence. Anyone excited?

I'm very pleased to welcome @Sonja Gonzalez from New York. We chatted in @Daniel Halls's wonderful community and got talking about board game nights that she runs to help her boys play video games less. I'm also very pleased to welcome @Ezra Davidson Please make yourselves at home, I'm excited to get to know you better! 😊
