Questions That Get Teens Talking with Sarah Brooks | Ep. 182
Q: How do timing and setting matter for important conversations?
Setting the expectation ahead of time for tough conversations and choosing low-pressure environments (like a car ride) can lead to more meaningful discussions.
Questions That Get Teens Talking with Sarah Brooks | Ep. 182
Q: What type of questions have you seen specifically that do open the door to real conversation?
Asking kids about what they think their friends would say or their advice creates more engaging conversations than straightforward questions.
De-escalation Skills and Conflict Management with Brenda McAdoo | Ep. 175
Q: Are they self-aware, to use that expression, enough to know that if 90 seconds they go this pivot this way or choose this way?
We can teach kids language around being self-aware and recognizing feelings in their bodies.
De-escalation Skills and Conflict Management with Brenda McAdoo | Ep. 175
Q: What does that look like? You're saying proactive. Is that, like I'm trying to think in a school setting, is that going to the police or is it maybe just pulling in another adult so that you have some backup?
It depends on your relationship with the school resource officer and how integrated they are with the counselors and teachers.
Fanfiction + School Absence | Ep. 147
Q: Why do you want Draco and Hermione to be together? Isn't Draco like a terrible person?
Yes, my theory is that people love the enemies to lovers trope, where characters start as enemies and then become lovers. Additionally, comments made by the actors during filming have fueled this connection in fans’ imaginations.
