The Calm Before the Storm


Listen Later

Mom, Dad, it’s never too early to start planning for the teen years!
When your child reaches the “tween” years, things are calm and easy, and you’re like, “Hey, I’m getting’ the hang of this parenting thing!” Hmm. Well, I hate to bust your bubble, but it’s likely “the calm before the storm”!
Sure, things are flowing smoothly now, but when your teen starts craving independence, he’ll be spending more time away from home, with folks you might not know. So don’t get blindsided! Start updating your style now, to prepare for the changes coming ahead.
The teen years can be bumpy. But they can be fantastic, too. So don’t fall asleep at the controls, because the storm clouds are looming. And your teen needs an alert pilot to navigate the turbulence ahead!
