Zach reframes chivalry in a modern context.

So kommen Familien gut durch die Pubertät - Wenn Kinder in die Pubertät kommen und sich immer deutlicher abgrenzen, gibt es in Familien oft Diskussionen, Rückzug, Wut und Streit.

Was tun, wenn Kinder nicht mehr mitmachen? Wenn es nicht einmal mehr heftige Auseinandersetzungen gibt, weil sie sich vollständig entziehen, und man das Gefühl hat, sie überhaupt nicht mehr erreichen zu können?

Selbst mit Heranwachsenden, die komplett aus der Norm ausscheren, ist immer noch ein echter Dialog möglich.

Why are today’s parents feeling like failures, worried that their teens will ‘go off the rails’, won’t get through school, won’t find a job or will be overwhelmed by stress?

What is the difference between the kid who struggles to "adult" and the one who jumps in feet first, ready to thrive? It all comes down to mindsets, skillsets, and toolsets.
