WHY SOME TEENS BECOME ISOLATED:

  1. Painful shyness can be a cause of self-isolation
  2. Moodiness can push adolescents away from their peer group
  3. Teens can be rejected for excelling, or underachieving
  4. The Internet is replacing actual in-person relationships

  3. Communicate respectfully 
  4. Let others get to know them
  5. Express what they feel and need
  6. Recognize hidden agendas in others

TEEN FRIENDSHIPS CAN BE COMPLICATED

It's important for students in middle-school and high school to have someone they can turn to in order to sort through their feelings, and not just act them out. 

I can Help

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AGGRESSIVE & ASSERTIVE

There are times when it's important to speak up, and times when it's better to let a perceived slight roll off your shoulder. Your teen will learn options for responding in a helpful and effective manner.

STRENGTHENING FLEXIBILITY, ADAPTABILITY & FRUSTRATION TOLERANCE

Differing levels of maturity can cause old friends to outgrow each other over time. I help teens reach their social developmental milestones, so as not to be left behind.
