The Parent Compass with Cynthia C. Muchnick and Jenn Curtis

Dr. Dan interviews educational consultants, podcast hosts, and authors Cynthia C. Muchnick, M.A. & Jenn Curtis, M.S.W. today about their show and their book The Parent Compass: Navigating Your Teen's Wellness and Academic Journey in Today's Competitive World.  Dr. Dan discusses how parents can best -- and appropriately -- support their kids in our hyper-competitive and uncertain landscape with Cynthia and Jenn.  The Parent Compass concept challenges the notion that "success" is based on getting into a "name brand" college or being at the top of one's class -- instead it proposes that success can mean many things:  living a life with purpose, attending a “right fit” college, being able to self-advocate, and embracing mistakes.  When we let our kids use their own voices, build resilience, and practice independence, we give them the path to a lifetime of real success.
