Listen in as Mark Gregston and Wayne Shepherd discuss why teens might “spin out of control." They explain this can happen when they can’t manage life within the boundaries of home, which can lead to disrespect, dishonesty, risky behavior or shutting down emotionally. Mark explains that these patterns are often a cry for help, revealing deeper struggles teens can’t navigate alone. Parents are encouraged to recognize early warning signs, adjust home structure with clear expectations and seek outside support when needed. Above all, teens don’t actually want their lives to fall apart — they need intervention, guidance and a restored relationship with their parents.

Join Mark in Texas at one of the Families In Crisis Conferences, an event designed to help parents who are struggling with their teens. Visit familycrisisretreat.com to learn more or register!
