We've all been there: the teen or pre-teen in front of us is realy upset, crying or yelling, and we're wondering "well now what do I do?"

Stay tuned for a particular tip she gives in the latter third of the episode on what to do with the 90 seconds it takes for an emotion to move through your body--it's one I (Becca) hadn't heard before, even though I've practiced meditation for decades, and I've tried it since recording this conversation and really found it helpful.

In this episode, we share stories from inside and outside the school building about the difficult experiences young people have experienced in not belonging and how adults can support belonging without accidentally taking away your kid's autonomy.


Also, as a quick note, this is one of the first episodes we ever recorded, though we're posting it later in our season, so please forgive our noob podcaster vibe in this one!
