Parenting Teens with Patience: Addressing Selfishness with Grace

About this episode

In today’s episode, Mark Gregston and Wayne Shepherd dive into the challenge of dealing with selfishness in teens. While it’s natural for teenagers to be self-focused, it’s equally natural for parents to feel frustrated. Mark offers fresh insights on how to approach your teen’s selfish behavior with patience and understanding, drawing from the story of the Prodigal Son. He encourages parents to look beyond the surface and consider what deeper emotional needs might be driving the apathy.
