I listened while doing clean up after the morning rush. Enjoyed your comments and agreed with it all. (Im gen x) I’ve been having issues with my eldest with phone use recently and, because of your comment, I see I it would be a good idea to involve my her in creating guidelines as a mature, driven and thoughtful 15 year old. I have been acting a bit as a dictator. Also, my very mature 13 year old recently made a comment —see, this is why I don’t talk with you more, you don’t listen! It’s hard for me to get excited about press on nails. Her superficiality frustrates me but I suppose the listening is the more important task to maintain those bridges of communication. Thank you again and I look forward to how this will translate into writing exercises and study of language. I’ve used your individual literature study guides as supplementary work for my eldest as we are an American-Italian family living in Italy.

Hi Julie! Great to see you! I am watching this as a recording. How about using this format as a place to troubleshoot with parents specific issues they are having, like an office hour?

Yes, that's one of the ideas I have as well! Will get through the book launch and then consider ways to do that. :)

Hi Julie, this was a really fun and helpful live! As a millennial, I definitely appreciated your insight, and your acknowledgement that it'd be a hot take ;) Thank you for sharing your wisdom. And I really loved, "You can't do it right, but you can do it well." <3
