So, you’ve made the decision you want to send your teen to wilderness. Now what?
In this 4th episode in our wilderness series, we’ll walk you through your options for actually getting your teen to wilderness. Because even though you might not feel like you have a choice right now, there really are options. Generally speaking, your two options are to (1) force your child to go, or (2) give them a choice to go. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each of them and in what situations one option might be better than the other.
In this episode on how to get your teen to wilderness, we discuss:
- The options you have in getting your teen to wilderness;
- The pros and cons of each choice;
- Taking ownership of your decision to send your teen to wilderness;
- Your teen’s feelings about wilderness and transport are valid;
- How to guide the conversation with your teen about going to wilderness;
- And more!
