ADOLESCENCE AND THE POWER OF PROMISES via Psychology Today
Ahh adolescence. The time of our lives we all enjoyed but yet are fearful to deal with. Truth is, this age group is amazing to say the least. It is my desire with this article will serve as a helpful tool to all my parents of teenagers out there. We remember how important promises were to us as a kid so imagine what they could do with you teenager! Promises establish trust and connection as the author so eloquently put it. Don’t believe me? Read it for yourself!
WHEN “YES” REALLY MEANS YES: GAVE GREAT SEX WITH AFFIRMATIVE CONSENT via The Gottman Institute
The topic of consent is one we know all too well. Yes means yes and no means no, right? Right. Katelyn Ewen goes into detail about affirmative consent and how to obtain it. I love how she puts it: “Consent is an active process that evolves, and so, too, should our communication about it.” Obtaining consent is not only necessary but it’s also beneficial for the developing of connection between two partners. I’m sure this article is well worth the five minute read!
