November 24, 2020 Episode 51: Teenagers and the holidays
Holidays can be so fun and full of love... unless our teenagers mess everything up! In this episode we discuss why teenagers sometimes don't like holiday family time and how to avoid impossible control battles trying to force them to smile. Instead, Dr. Ken recommends using holidays as another way to signal to our teenagers that they are now on the adult side of the holiday equation. Maybe it's high time your teen starts asking what YOU want for Christmas!

November 03, 2020 Episode 48: LGBTQIA+ issues and teenagers - Part 2
LGBTQ issues are a huge part of our teenagers' lives. If your teenagers aren't dealing with these issues themselves, they know or will know other young people who are. In this episode we answer further questions parents have including how should parents talk to their teenagers about LGBTQ issues and whether or not parents should take their transgender or gay teenager to therapy. It turns out that these answers depend quite a lot on the foundation of our own identity as parents!

October 20, 2020 Episode 46: Body image and eating disorders and teenagers
Teenagers' relationship to their bodies are conflicted enough as it is. Social media has made these bad feelings worse than ever. In this episode we talk about "normal" teenage struggles with food, appearance and body-image and when parents should be concerned. Do eating and body-image issues affect girls only? Most importantly, we cover what parents of teenagers can do and should NEVER do to impact their teenagers' relationship to food and their bodies (can you say control battle?).

September 22, 2020 Episode 42: Ghosts of parenting past - How our own upbringing affects the way we parent our teenagers
This week we take on the tough issue of spotting our own weaknesses as parents. How you were raised clearly effects how you parent your kids... and that's not always good! What are the most common ways a parent's upbringing impacts their own parenting? When do parents need to consider therapy for themselves and when do they NOT need therapy? What do parents who experienced abuse need to be aware of in their own parenting? How can a parent's Christian faith impact these weaknesses?
