Parenting Teens with Dr. Cam

02-01-2023 • 28 mins

If you want your teen to thrive within our current hypercompetitive culture and uncertain landscape, this episode is for you.

In this episode  I’m joined by Cindy Muchnick, Educational Consultant and author of The Parent Compass: Navigating Your Teen's Wellness and Academic Journey in Today's Competitive World, which Katie Couric selected as one of the top 11 fall parenting reads.

Cindy shows us how we can best support our teens without having to frantically tutor, manage, and helicopter them.

7 points to the Parent Compass

  1. Intact relationships
  2. Living a life with purpose
  3. Being confident and secure in one's capabilities
  4. Attending a "right fit" college
  5. Having a zest for exploration and developing insatiable curiosity
  6. Being able to self-advocate
  7. Embracing new challenges and the mistakes/failures/faltering that come along the way.
