Finding Balance: Tips to help your teen learn valuable life skills

Our monthly theme here at Therapy and Learning Service, Inc is BALANCE. We'll be discussing how to find it, how to keep it and why it's so important to demonstrate this very important skill to your teens. 


Research shows that having consistent family time not only is good for family relationships but cultivates those ever important life skills {executive functioning skills} that our kids need in order to thrive in the world! Learn more about how demonstrating a balanced life helps our teens.


An important thing to remember is not to feel like #familytime is another thing to add to the schedule. Be intentional but try to just let it happen. It doesn't have to be perfect to count! Capitalize on those moments when you are all together. Here are a few easy ways to begin to implement #familytime into your schedule. 

• Family meal time {Sundays are usually GREAT days!}
• Game night
• Daily Review {gather before bed to touch base}

Join our challenge by posting an update or picture about your #familytime on one of our Twitter, Facebook or Instagram {JenHatfieldSLP}. 


Do you already have daily or weekly #familytime? I'd love to hear your ideas!
