What's right with you?
<p>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 right with anyone is often the flip side of what's "wrong" with them--and how we can use some techniques from the business world to do some "lean parenting," as Becca calls it, to make it easier to move forward.</p><br><p>Want your questions answered in season 2?

When to use extrinsic motivation as a parent?
<p>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 from each other and crack jokes that only other Gen Xers will get. </p><br><p>Please reach out to let us know your thoughts and questions on this or other topics via the form at canyouhelpmegivea.com.

How do you get your teen to listen to you when they want to listen to their friends more?
This week, Becca is joined by Cath Covacin, founder of Keys to Potential, who discusses key strategies she's learned form teaching young people in Australia on how to engage with tweens and teens so they want to listen to and connect with you even though the brain development is urging them to do a lot more listening to their peers.
