What's right with you?
For the final episode of season 1, Becca is rejoined by Liz and Jess to discuss a question they've each found it helpful to use when working with tweens and teens, whether as their kids or students: what's right with you? Liz opens it up with a story many parents can relate to of how hard it can be sometimes not to slip out with a "what's wrong with you?" when a kid makes a particularly big slip that just seems inexplicable, and this turns into a conversation about how we can help ourselves and our teens notice that what's...

When to use extrinsic motivation as a parent?
Recently a listener reached out to Becca to ask about when to focus on building sustainable motivation vs when to just use standard extrinsic motivators, like rewards and punishments. To discuss this topic, Becca pulled in her spouse and co-parent, Mark Fasano, because it's both a topic with no one-size-fits-all-answer, and a topic they've discussed many times before. Becca shares how her tendency is to err on the side o building sustainable motivation, Mark on how his is to prioritize whatever will get the job done in the moment. They share examples of when it's worked well to learn...

In contrast with last week's episode, this week we delve into the flip side of the college question with Kadeem Leslie. He was a straight A student in college, went on to get a Master's degree, and then became an entrepreneur and investor -- and began to wonder at the exact return on investment (ROI) of college degrees. He shares his somewhat controversial but thoughtful take on how parents and students could work together to evaluate whether college or a more entrepreneurial, non-college pathway might be the best fit for a teenager interested in figuring out how they're going...

What do college-bound h.s. sophomores sometimes overlook?
Often, students and families don't start thinking about college readiness until their junior year of high school. Or, on the flip side, some families have been thinking about it since elementary school, carefully selecting every move that might lead to that perfect college application. Either way, former guidance counselor Briana Rahmani noticed that there's something many families overlook: the importance of exploration. Listen to today's episode to understand the important role exploration without too much pressure plays in college readiness. And learn even more valuable tips and resources at Briana's website, thecollegeinme.com and @thecollegeinme on IG and facebook.
