Real, raw and relevant talk about raising teens and parenting young adults in today's world.
Parenting is the toughest job we ever loved. But, as our kids grew into teenagers, we were shocked at how many problems and how much pressure was created by things we had no experience with. Every choice in their teen and young adult years was magnified, for the good and the bad. Their entire lives were accelerated and they faced huge challenges from technology, social media, peer pressure, the push to excel, and the speed of life.

Another issue may be your ability to respond to a situation rather than fall into a reaction. Ashlie Woods [...]

When we compare our own experience with our children’s, it can be tempting to tell them to forget about it, get over it, or stop being melodramatic. But therapist and author Robin Sabag says FOMO is real [...]
