From impulsive...
Let’s face it, teens can be impulsive.
It makes sense.
Teens are exiting their childhood and entering adulthood. There is more responsibility and a lot more choices to make.
Teens may feel that they lack control of their circumstances.
Can they truly have control of anything?
Will they ever be empowered, thoughtful individuals ready to face the challenges in their lives?

This video series delves into the repercussions of reacting impulsively, highlighting the significance of managing oneself in a productive manner.
Some key points in the video series:
- Controlling our responses in any situation through communication, problem-solving, or seeking help.
