Feeding The Mouth That Bites You: Parenting Teens Into Adulthood

Episode 220: Parenting Teens Through Hard News and Politics


Listen Later

This week Dr. Ken dives into a topic every parent is facing—how to walk with teenagers when the news in our country feels heavy and unsettling. From tragic events to the endless political chatter on social media, it can be hard to know how to navigate this with our teens. We talk about the tension of wanting to protect our kids while also respecting that they’re young adults who see and hear more than we realize.

We also wrestle through questions like: How do we start meaningful conversations without turning it into a lecture? When is it wise to bring faith into the discussion, and when is it better to simply listen? And how do we model trust in God when the culture feels anything but steady?

It’s a practical and encouraging conversation about parenting in a media-saturated world—offering perspective, a little humor, and those planned-emancipation reminders we all need when the world feels unsteady.
