Helping iY Find their Future
Responsive: to display acceptance, support and patience; to be attentive to them.
Demanding: to establish high standards, directing them to target those standards.
“What an adolescent needs is an adult (parent, teacher, coach, etc.) to display a balance of two elements –they need them to be both responsive and demanding.”
