Pre-teens & teens watch and listen to the adults they know and respect. When influential adults are present and involved, teens are happier, healthier, and make better choices. However, parents and other adults often struggle to talk with teens about ma*****na and they tend to underestimate the important role they play when they are involved in a teen’s life.
Starting this Thursday, we’ll be sharing one idea per week you can use to become the ultimate “influencer” to a child in your life!!
