Does your teen need a personal coach? I can’t see it for my 16 yr. old daughter or any other kids her age. It reeks of the overachievement mentality that tends to squeeze the fun out of life at that age. I can see it, though, for young adults in their early twenties who are not quite disengaged enough from mom and dad to use them for career and other advice.
My three twenty-something sons do seem to seek out my wife and I occasionally for this. I always feel honored when they do.
I wish I’d experienced it with my parents when I was in my twenties. I wish I was in a place with my mother now — and that she was in a place with herself — where I could benefit from whatever wisdom’s she’s garnered from her nearly 80 years.
