Foundations of CONNECTION
Interested in Being a Guest?
The ParenT(w)een Connection Talks helps parents learn about a broad array of topics that relate to life with teens and tweens. We bring in experts who can help parents learn what topics they should talk about with their kids and give them insight about how to start those conversations.
Our guests are asked to prepare two topics relative to their expertise.
The live conversation around the first topic is broadcast to our Facebook group, YouTube channel, and LinkedIn Page so folks can ask questions as we chat, and then the recording is uploaded to our podcast.
The conversation about the second topic is broadcast exclusively to our ParenT(w)een Village Members Only Facebook group and recorded to be shared through our website's Members Only pages.
Podcast guests are welcome to make an offer to listeners during either or both segments, as you feel appropriate.
