Your Teen Is More Than Grades by Fern Weis, Parent + Family Recovery Coach


Your Teen Is More Than Grades by Fern Weis, Parent + Family Recovery Coach, Bergen County Moms

Do you see your child's potential? Do you recognize their effort, or fixate on fixing them? I know you love your child to the moon and back. But sometimes you come across as only appreciating them when they get good grades or achieve something measurable. They start to feel like 'achievement machines', and not loved for their unique, quirky self.

The next time you're disappointed by your child's performance, remember the person inside who is so much more than grades.

For more on this topic, listen to "Stop Talking about School" on my Back to Basics podcast.
