  • There are the places you expect to find joy, and there are the places where it finds you, writes Sara Shukla. Sometimes, that place is a yo-yo competition in Massachusetts.

The article by Sara Shukla on WBUR.org discusses the challenges and rewards of parenting teenagers, using the metaphor of a yo-yo contest to describe the dynamic relationship between parents and their adolescent children. Shukla reflects on her experience at a yo-yo competition where she observed the intense focus and skill of the participants, drawing parallels to the ups and downs of parenting teens. She highlights the need for parents to balance giving their teenagers space to grow and develop independence while still providing guidance and support. Shukla emphasizes the importance of patience, understanding, and maintaining a sense of humor as essential tools for navigating the teenage years, ultimately suggesting that the effort and emotional investment in parenting teens, much like mastering a yo-yo, can be both challenging and deeply rewarding.
