How to Help My Teen Find Purpose and Navigate Life

The adolescent years are pivotal for every teen and for every parent. As our teens seek to clarify who they are, they often look to their parents for validation, support and most importantly, presence. How can parents navigate these complex years and be present to help their teens have motivation and a sense of purpose in life?Join our host, Chong Ee Jay, who chats with Muru Nagaraju, a trainer and father of a teenage daughter and son, aged 17 and 15 respectively.
