I have been so thankful for Dr. Ken’s book and this podcast. The teenage years have been a lot of second-guessing decisions, and it’s so helpful to listen to this podcast and know that many of the responses my teenagers are having are typical and not something I need to be overly concerned about. They also address common topics that helped me figure out how to navigate things in a way that gives my kids age-appropriate freedom. Well also keeping boundaries with it. Thank you!!
