In this thought-provoking episode of Connected Parenting Minute, hosts Will and CarrieAnn Standfest welcome special guest Ryan North to discuss the vital topic of boundaries in parenting, particularly with teenagers. They delve into the question: Do our boundaries exist for our child's benefit or merely for our convenience? The conversation encourages parents to reflect on their motivations behind setting rules and how these decisions can impact their relationships with their children.

Ryan shares his extensive experience as a foster parent and educator, emphasizing the importance of understanding that boundaries should protect rather than restrict. The trio explores how teenagers perceive rules and the necessity of flexibility in parenting, especially as children grow and mature. Listeners will gain valuable insights into creating a nurturing environment that fosters connection while still maintaining essential limits.
