Finding Balance: Empowering Teens Without Overcontrol
About this episode
Are you unintentionally overcontrolling your teen? In this episode, Mark Gregston and Wayne Shepherd discuss the balance between guiding teens and giving them the independence they need to thrive. While it's important to prepare them for the future, too much control — often from good intentions — can hinder their growth. Tune in for practical tips and to learn how to create an environment that fosters independence and empowers teens to make their own decisions.
