068 – Parenting teenagers today

Being a parent of a teenager has never been easy, but many parents are seeing additional challenges and stresses for their young people and may wonder how to do the best job of supporting them at this time. This podcast begins with the voices of young people, sharing their challenges and opportunities, and what they most appreciate about their parents. Then Graeme Thompson is in conversation with people from three different perspectives - teaching, youth work, and psychology – about what is going on for young people these days from educational, emotional, relational, and spiritual perspectives. The conversation concludes with some practical thoughts on how parents of teenagers can walk with them and support them most effectively.
