In this episode, Mark talks about the complexities of understanding teen behavior beyond its surface manifestations. By sharing a personal story, Mark illustrates the importance of recognizing the underlying emotional needs that drive both positive and negative actions. He emphasizes the necessity for parents to develop wisdom, sound judgment and discretion, guiding them to see with the eyes of their heart. Listen in!
