How to respond to a teen's hurtful words


In this issue:

Hi Reader,

Let's be honest, sometimes teens can cut us to the core. It might be their words, it might be a glance, it might be the way they ignore us or even act embarrassed of us. We love this post that reminds us that no matter what our teen is going through, loving them more is always the answer.

Until Next Time,

Whitney and the PTT Team

Greenlight Debit Card--Teaching Teens to Manage Money Made Easy

One of the best ways we can help tweens and teens become competent money managers is to actually give them the chance to manage their own money with our supervision. It gets old having our kids constantly asking us for money to get snacks at school or buy a new video game or to go out with friends. Greenlight is an established and trusted banking app and debit card for teens and tweens where parents can deposit funds, set flexible controls and get real time notifications on their kids’ spending activity – specifically when and where.
