Do you ever feel confused—or even frustrated—by your teenager’s behavior? You’re not alone. In this episode, Dr. Jim Burns unpacks why teens act the way they do and how parents can come alongside them with greater understanding. He explains how adolescence is a season of identity formation and that the brain isn’t fully developed until around age 24. Jim reveals how teens shape culture, values, and technology. Parents will learn why teaching discernment is far more effective than trying to protect teenagers in a bubble. Tune in to gain fresh insight and encouragement as you help your teen navigate this challenging but transformative season.
