Join Mark Gregston, Wayne Shepherd and Courtney Lafleur today as they discuss the power of perspective when parenting teens, and why it matters more than simply sharing opinions. Mark explains that teens are surrounded by loud opinions everywhere, but what they truly need from parents is calm, experience-based wisdom that helps them see the bigger picture. Instead of rushing to “fix” their problems, parents can offer perspective, listen well and let teens think through decisions on their own. Ultimately, sharing perspective builds connection, invites ongoing conversation, and helps teens grow in maturity and confidence.
