The Rise of a New Generation

You may find yourself interacting with your teen and thinking these sweet thoughts to yourself...

WHAT PLANET DID YOU COME FROM!?

And, it really is a fair question to be asking!  The world has taken on some dramatic shifts over the past 20 years introducing more technology, more communication, and more "i-stuff" than ever before!  As a parent, you may be finding yourself "keeping up" with the latest trends of facebook, youtube, text message lingo, and all of the other "new" of the time; however imagine how differently the world would be if you never knew a day without any of those things!  That's the world your teen (those born after 1990) interacts with every day.

I Got My Son Back!

Gooood Afternoon!!!

I sent my son Ryan to the College Leadership Breakthrough experience last weekend and he had an awesome time!  I have recommended the course to every parent I know.  My older children (one is in law school and the other in the Army) will also be signed up as soon as we can work it into their schedules.

Thanks so much for everything you do.  I got my son back after last weekend.  He is a wonderfully enthusiastic young man again, after having bought into the world’s fears and models of what is “expected”.   I’m soooo excited that he has regained his focus and opened himself up again to all the possibilities life has to offer!   It was his Christmas present and the best gift I could have given!  After all the grumbling to get him there, he now agrees and thanks me for “forcing” him to go!

Enthusiastically!

Long Lasting

Hi,

Just wanted to provide some feedback regarding the long-term benefits of Teen Leadership.  My son, Ray, attended Rapport in Wisconsin two summers ago.  The results were long lasting.  Most recently while applying to college Ray was awarded a $5000 annual leadership scholarship that we attribute to the Teen Leadership program at Rapport and his subsequent growth from that opportunity.

Thank you for all that you do.
