In this episode of "Reading with Your Kids," host Jed Doherty interviews life coach Loree Bischoff about empowering teenagers. Bischoff discusses her book "Common Sense Happiness" and a new online life coaching course for teens called TLC. The TLC course teaches important skills often overlooked in schools, like emotional intelligence, positive mindset, and personal responsibility.

With rising rates of depression, anxiety, and other issues among youth, Bischoff saw a need to address the whole child. Her TLC course guides teens through modules on self-esteem, motivation, emotional fitness, and values. Using video and activities, it seeds the "garden of their minds" with empowering beliefs and healthy habits.

Parents are encouraged to have open conversations with teens to build trust. Doherty shares how discussing values and choices benefited his daughter's college path. With proper guidance, teens can critically think through impactful decisions like higher education.

Rather than a one-size-fits-all system, Bischoff advocates adapting to each child's needs. Her TLC program equips teens to stand on their own through self-awareness, vision, and character development. It provides the foundation many lack when facing a complex world of media influence and life transitions.
