What Your Teenagers Need from You

Parenting teens, like every other stage of parenting, comes with its own challenges and joys—and what worked when they were little may not address our children’s needs as they approach adulthood. Join Melissa Kruger in this week’s episode of The Deep Dish as she talks with Sandi Taylor and Ruth Chou Simons about unique ways to parent with wisdom and grace in the teen years. P.S. Are you enjoying The Deep Dish podcast? Come be part of a LIVE recording at TGC25 later this month!
