Thank you Jeni, you offer so much insight for parents today. I wish I could spin back time and have this help when I was raising two teenage daughters.
Thank you for clearly speaking about the fact that many of us really do not know what listening entails, and that there are resources available to help us learn and practice. I am grateful to know that there are resources available to all ages- children, teens, adults, parents, grandparents, family friends, etc. Listening takes practice for many of us and it is one of the most valuable tools available to us. Especially if we are "helpers.' I hope it is ok to share this with someone outside of the Napa Valley, as this information is timely and critical. Our youth are our future. Let us help them to have the most productive and "good" lives as possible, no matter what their challenges may be.

Thank you, Jeni! I knew you were very involved with “youth connections “…now I know why! I look forward to your next article.
