A Mind In the Making

Parent Choices for Struggling Teens

Guest: Ellen Galinsky, 212-465-2044, [e-mail], familiesandwork.org, President and Co-Founder of Families and Work Institute, and author of Mind in the Making: The Seven Essential Life Skills Every Child Needs and numerous additional books and reports. Host Lon Woodbury and Co-Host Elizabeth McGhee discussed with Ellen how stress and pressures on children and families have increased and changed over the years, and how much of stress is just unreal expectations. When parents and children change their perspective, just that simple attitude change can help change what is stressful to a healthy and building challenge to overcome.
