Video: Deepening Your Connection with your Tween or Teen
Presenter: Jesse Tubb
Parenting has been the most challenging and rewarding thing I've ever done! Our two teenagers provide no shortage of opportunities to practice the mindfulness and resiliency skills I've learned as a competitive endurance racer, a career Soldier, and a mental fitness coach.
Through years of trial and error (mostly error), I learned to be less demanding and directive and more curious and compassionate. I utilize nature and movement to build rapport and connection with our kids and the kids I work with. This has helped create an environment of openness, support, and love that is the foundation of our family.
My hope is that you learn from my mistakes and apply some of these tools to your family to create the same. We're by no means perfect parents, but we are far better than we were, and (at least as of writing this) our adult kids enjoy hanging out with us, sharing their greatest fears and dreams, and cuddling on the couch for movie night.
