Episode Synopsis

“I think the biggest difference between how kids were back when I was younger and how they are now, manifests itself at a High School dance...
I worry that there is a fear of intimacy, and I'm not talking about sexual intimacy.”

What keeps a High School principal up at night? Find out with Principal Peter Glahn-- as he shares the evolution of adolescent resilience, the culture of unity formed from school programs and extracurriculars, the power of relationship and the irreplaceable practice of peer interaction. From slow dances to smartphones, learn what life might just be like for the teens in your life... after all, principals and teachers could potentially see more and know more-- being with our kids all day in, day out.  Tune in for this one, on this week of Finding Noble!
