Our special guest, JoAnn Schauf, is here to provide her expert insights. JoAnn, often called the parent whisperer, recently published her book Loving the Alien: How to Parent Your Tween. She founded Your Tween and You to support, empower, and inspire parents through these challenging years.

➡️ Parents should foster ownership and problem-solving skills in their tweens/teens.
➡️ Parents should avoid excessive monitoring and instead focus on building trust and independence.
