The Pesky Years

from Marriage Unhindered · host Relevant Radio

Monica Joins Doug to discuss how to deal with pesky teens. It’s a tough time for the teen and the parent so meet them where they are and remember to take a deep breath or two.   Listener questions and comments: Lynda - When I was raising children, I started having a family meeting and gave the children a chance to speak. It helped build trust. (20:47) Nick - There was a Catholic psychiatrist Conrad Baars who spoke of affirmation. I am a big fan because when I was a child I had issues with overly critical parents. (36:02) Paul - I learned how to teach patience to my children from watching the movie Aladdin. Jaffar's bird was always squawking, and I reiterate the line 'patience'.
