PATHBREAKER PARENTING

New Conversations to Engage Your Teen and Empower Self-Directed Thriving

Beschreibung

Pathbreaker Parenting challenges conventional wisdom and reveals how following a one-size-fits-all "path" to successful adulthood is failing today's teenagers. The author deconstructs these expectations, exposing the flaws in an outdated system. The book is divided into five sections: In the first section, the author delves into the life experiences that shaped his own beliefs and convictions about education, achievement, and happiness. Section 2 breaks down each element of the path, exposing how it can actually set teenagers up for failure and stifle their potential. The third section explores the power of a growth mindset and self-directed learning, while showing how college isn't always the best bet. Finally, the book lays out a road map for a new journey that breaks free from the path, empowers teenagers, and enables them to become thriving young adults. Parents will also receive valuable concrete advice, such as scripts for conversations with their teenager and email templates for networking. Pathbreaker Parenting is not just a parenting book; it's a call to action that will cause you to rethink traditional approaches to education, success, and personal fulfillment.

Autor

Seth Marlowe is a rookie author who firmly believes in shaking things up regarding the well-trodden path society expects teenagers to follow. A Southern boy through and through, he was born in Columbus, Georgia, and grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he and his wife, Donna, currently reside. Together, they had the joy of raising two wonderful daughters-Lauren, now twenty-six, and Brooke, now twenty-three.Over the past two decades, those who've shared quality time with Seth know his enthusiasm for challenging the traditional narrative surrounding academic excellence and predefined life paths for teenagers. This passion is laid bare in his debut book, Pathbreaker Parenting, where he dismantles conventional notions and provides profound insights, sparking fresh, empowering conversations between parents and teens.Seth built a successful thirty-year career in the business world through a combination of roles in sales, customer success, and mid-level management, and as a senior executive. He volunteered hundreds of hours to facilitate leadership training for rising juniors and seniors in high school, which serves as the heartbeat of this book. Outside of his wordsmith adventures and parenting crusades, you'll find Seth trying (and usually failing) to play tennis, cheering on his hometown sports teams through thick and (mostly) thin, savoring Donna's exquisite culinary creations, delving into a stack of nonfiction books, and going the extra mile (or ten) to pick the brains of teenagers and young adults.Visit his website at pathbreakerparenting.com to learn more about his background and sign up for emails.
