145. "Why a Rite of Passage Weekend is So Important for your Tween or Teen" - Interview with My Son, Casey about the Young Men's Ultimate Weekend.

  • Summary

  • Join host Therese Connolly LCSW, for an enlightening conversation with her son Casey who joins her to talk all about his experience at the Young Men's Ultimate Weekend run by Challenging Teenage Sons. It was a transformative rite of passage weekend that had a profound impact on their relationship and her son's personal growth.

    ⭐Tess discusses her initial hesitations, the preparation leading up to the weekend, and the impact it had on their relationship.

    ⭐Casey shares his perspective on the activities, challenges, and valuable skills he gained during the weekend.

    ⭐The episode highlights the importance of parent involvement, the emotional closure ceremony, and the positive changes observed in our communication post-event.

    ⭐Overall, the Young Men's Ultimate Weekend was a transformative experience that fostered growth, connection, and personal development for both Tess and her son Casey.

    ⭐Here are three key takeaways from this powerful episode:

    1️⃣ Connection and Communication: Through this weekend, Casey and I experienced a significant improvement in our connection and communication. The experience allowed us to express our feelings better and truly understand each other. Our relationship has deepened, and we now communicate more openly and effectively.

    2️⃣ Personal Growth and Challenges: The Young Men's Ultimate Weekend provided Casey with the opportunity to challenge himself physically, emotionally, and spiritually. He learned new skills, faced difficult tasks, and pushed himself out of his comfort zone. This experience of growth and overcoming challenges has had a lasting impact on his confidence and self-awareness.

    3️⃣ Parental Involvement and Support: As a parent, being actively involved in the parent education portion of the weekend was invaluable. It reinforced the values and virtues we want to instill in our children and provided a deeper understanding of the experience. The closing ceremony, where parents and sons reconnect, was a powerful moment of recognition and growth for both parties.

    ⭐I highly recommend listening to this episode to learn more about the Young Men's Ultimate Weekend and the positive impact it can have on parent-child relationships.
