How to Raise a Happy Teen: From One Parent in the Trenches to Another

Show Guest: Christie Halverson

When Christie Halverson became a mother, she and her husband began the journey to creating a better way of parenting that required their attitudes and actions shift out of the old paradigms they were raised in. According to Christie, it takes great self-introspection, patience, and an entirely new view based on the fact that teenagers are absolutely amazing creatures, who love fiercely and are incredibly funny.

From this new viewpoint, time and time again they found three simple commonsense principals, Empowerment, Validation, and Love, were all they needed to guide their teens into becoming self-confident, compassionate, and functional adults. From one parent in the trenches, join us as Christie gives hope and shares her successes in raising healthy, happy teens.
