In today's show, Mark Gregston and Wayne Shepherd discuss what drives teens to be sexually active and how you can confront the situation without inflicting shame or losing the relationship with your child.

The Purpose of Pain
A parent’s role is not to eliminate the pain in their child’s life, but to prepare them for the real world. Teens will choose their inappropriate behavior over and over until the pain that results from their choice surpasses the pleasure that it brings them. In today’s episode, Mark Gregston and Wayne Shepherd discuss the importance of not rescuing your kids so they might experience the pain of their actions, forcing them to think in new ways, and ultimately learn from their mistakes.
