You know how men don’t like to ask for directions? Well, when it comes to parenting teens, often Dads and Moms can be stubborn about asking for directions!

Raising a teen is no easy task, and in some cases, it may be necessary to call for backup. Maybe you’ve taken the time to formulate, communicate, and implement consequences and boundaries, but things still feel like they’re spinning out of control. Nothing works!

If this sounds like your situation, it may be time to seek outside help. It could be from a pastor, a counselor, or a caring friend. Hey, asking for help does not mean you’re a failure. In fact, it may just lead you to the place you want to be!
