In part five of the series “What Parenting Does to Parents,” which discusses the impact parenting has on parents, Monica and Danny discuss how the lives of teenagers are busier than ever, and far busier than when they were growing up with immigrant parents. With all the effort and time parents spend driving around their teenagers, they discuss ways that parents can be more than chauffeurs, but can redeem the time driving and use the time to have relationships and fruitful conversations with their teenagers.
