Summary

Welcome to the Peer Social Skills Series! Sometimes we end up around and in conversations that don't feel good.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Teen Life Coach podcast. I'm Coach Sammy and I am so glad you are here.
0:11.7	The teen years can be fun and exciting, but also filled with self-doubt, insecurities, and lots of
0:19.7	frustration. I am here to help you along your
0:23.5	teen journey and make sure you enjoy your teen years as much as possible. Let's get started.
0:32.7	Hey, everyone. Welcome to the podcast this week. I am so excited you guys are here today. I am really looking forward to the next few episodes because I am going to be doing a series of podcasts on peer-to-peer social skills and strategies.
0:52.3	And the main reason for this is because as I am coaching many of you,
0:58.3	it is apparent that many of you are using strategies in peer social situations that are not getting

1:26.7	Many of you are asking me like, hey, coach Sammy, what do I do in this situation?

1:43.3	to practice and they require practice,
1:46.0	right? You're not going to be good at them right away, but just knowing that you have options
1:52.4	and strategies and skills that you can rely on when these situations arise. So the first skill
2:00.1	that I want to talk to you guys today about is
2:03.1	learning how to change the subject. And this is an important skill because many times in our
2:13.0	lives we get in situations where the people around us aren't talking about something that we feel
2:20.8	is a great topic of conversation.
2:23.5	Maybe they are tearing someone down or maybe it's just not an uplifting topic.
