Congratulations on being one of THE most influential people in our society today! You, more than any other human being in this world, will play a role in determining the shape of our leaders over the next 20 years! You have the opportunity to:
- Live a life that demonstrates the choices you desire for your teen to make!
- Empower your teen with the potential you notice inside of them!
- Act as the example that your student desperately needs to see!
- Dream along side them, affirming that what they yearn for is nothing short of possible!
Rapport Empowered Education speak with parents every single day that share comments such as this...
"Oh, but if you only knew MY teenager..."
"I live with a teenager, what can I expect..."
"I can only hope it's a phase we will pass through quickly..."
And, we interact with teenagers on a daily basis that say things such as this...
"Oh, but if you only knew MY parents..."
"I live with my Mom and Dad, what can I expect..."
"Oh, they'll get over it! It's just this new thing they are stuck on..."
These conversations lead to the belief that some of your frustrations are probably quite similar to theirs! Frustration that "they just don't listen" comes up often on both sides of the fence!
As you and your family begin to move into the start of a new school year take a moment to reflect on the year that has just past. Take time to celebrate your success as a family! Express gratitude for what your up-and-coming CEO, teacher, or doctor has done in school, sports, and most importantly your family! Often times we treat our children like ...well... children! Instead of approaching them as if they really do posses the potential we see within them!
Start this school year off with a fresh new start -one that empowers your teen to be everything you want them to be, they want to be, and they have potential to be!
Enthusiastically,
Vanessa Vann
