Parents need more support during the teen and early adult years than they do at any other time. Our kids are growing, facing new adventures and new obstacles. We have to find new ways to parent through the struggles, but this is a time when parents feel pushed away and left out. Principal and Educational consultant Janice Case joins Mighty Parenting podcast hosts Judy Davis and Sandy Fowler to help us explore the issues, to understand what’s happening in our kids’ lives, how it’s different from what we experienced and the ways that impacts our parenting. She’ll teach us why we need a network and how to create a support system that makes the job of parenting our teens easier.
One challenging aspect of parenting through the teen years is staying connected to our kids, letting them know we love them. In Real Talk, Judy and Sandy share simple ideas for maintaining and building connection with our kids through their teens and into their twenties.
