Anyone who has been a parent of a teen for ten minutes knows it can come with a whole lot of goodness, but also some tension, especially as we prepare to launch them. That brings a requirement that we give them opportunities to fail so they have a soft landing with us. Going to public school so they can play sports, getting a job at an early age, having a cell phone… all of these are opportunities for success or failure, and the answer isn’t the same for each child. Listen in today as I talk through some ways you can approach these situations with your teen.
