Is This Normal Teen Behavior—or a Red Flag? :: Mark Gregston [Ep 541]


Listen Later

Have you ever felt like your teenager is pulling away, and no matter how much you talk, nothing seems to get through?

In this episode, we’re joined by Mark Gregston, a ministry leader who has spent over 50 years walking with teenagers through crises, often welcoming them into his home. His insights challenge a lot of the assumptions we make about parenting teens. Mark reminds us that relationships are the most important thing and shares ways to make that connection, and how to transition from parenting littles to older kids. Here is some of what we cover: 
  • What to do when mom shame pops up 
  • How to know when your teen is just being a teen... and when it's a red flag
  • What to do when your teen surprises you with behavior you didn’t see coming
  • How to give them more responsibility and be less controlling
  • Creating a home where relationships flourish is possible—even when things feel hopeless
