I’ve mentioned him before, so all you fine folks are following Josh Shipp<\/a> now, right? RIGHT? What do you mean, no….<\/p>\n

Alrighty, let me introduce you to him again! Josh Shipp<\/a> is, as he says, a guy who shouldn’t be here. He grew up in foster care, and until one teacher and one foster family got him, and proved to him that he had something to say – he was headed down the wrong road. He’s also a success story for those of us with kids that get in trouble for talking in class – he did too, and now he’s one of the most sought after Teen Motivational speakers of our time.<\/p>\n

He’s amazing – he really is. His tagline is “In your face, but on your side” and his no-nonsense advice is almost 99% of the time exactly what I’d tell a teen that came to me with the same problem. He’s a very big advocate of teens and parents TALKING, and you know that’s my number one statement around here!<\/p>\n

He also has a new Josh in a Box Identity program, to help teens as they struggle to find their own sense of self – and from what I’ve seen, it’s really good, and worth every penny.<\/p>\n

Now, don’t think Josh is just for the teens – because he opened a special Grown-up section of his site for us parents too.<\/p>\n

So here’s what I want you to do: Send your Teenager to HeyJosh.com<\/a> and let them poke around. It’s a good place for them to ask for advice on things they might not be able to talk to you about yet, and I’ve yet to see Josh stumble in the advice department.<\/p>\n

Don’t believe me? Check it out. This is the latest on his weekly advice show:<\/p>\n

See? He talks good game, and backs it up with good advice. So get you’re kids over there – send them the link <\/a>today.<\/p>\n

Then? Go to the grownup section, and sign up yourself.<\/a> LIsten to his message, sign up for the email list, get the PDF “Five Mistakes” and watch that video too. It’s a great primer for the Parent of a Teenage Human, and well worth the watch\/read.<\/p>\n

You’ll be glad you did – and tell Josh I sent ya. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
