In this episode, we talk with educator Blake Boles on what makes an adolescent tick.

What's going on in a teenager's mind, and how can we connect with our kids?

Blake is someone who should know.

After studying teenage unschoolers – kids who chose their own path in their educations – in college, he's worked with them in unique and interesting capacities.

Blake's been a camp counselor; he travels with young adults to other countries; he's authored books on getting into college without going to high school, "doing" college without going to college, and becoming a self-directed learner.

And today's conversation will help you connect with your adolescent child. (I know this, because it helped me : )
