Summary: Reading a book or two for the summer may seem passe. With social media feeding your teen all sorts of information- tear down the monuments, March, wear a mask, don’t wear one, It’s important to have some conversations. Often those snippets we see hear/read/ are not great springboards because they start with an argument. We don’t want to argue all summer with our teens. We can start with someone else’s story. Reading someone else’s story opens up the place to start a conversation. You can ask the questions such as- why do you think he did this? What was going on at the time that would have hindered him. Why do you think he made the right/wrong decision. We can put ourselves in someone else’ shoes. We can learn from joining the great conversation. Grab a cup of coffee and join Kathleen as she shares two books - one a historical fiction and the other a future dystopian. Here’s the link to the “Instead Of” Tips Course.
