Episode description

Is more parental involvement always better? It's all well-intended, but where do we draw the line? In today’s episode, Mark Gregston and Wayne Shepherd explore how hovering too much can actually stunt a teen's growth. They discuss the impact of over-involvement versus under-involvement and how each shapes your teen's ability to make decisions. Remember, it's all about preparing them for the real world, allowing them to learn from mistakes and giving age-appropriate freedoms. Tune in to discover how to create a nurturing yet balanced environment for your teen's growth!
