Basic Directions for "Having the Conversation"

Dear parents,

This is a simple way to practice conversing with your teenager about things that they fear or are very worried about in their future. This is based on my own experiences as a high achieving student in high school and more recently, as a parent of two teenagers. I learned a lot when I taught high school (2008-2013) from my students about their own stress, struggles, fears, parental pressure, peer pressure, academic bullying and the basics of growing up in the Silicon Valley.
