The Well

In today's episode, Mark Gregston, Wayne Shepherd and Courtney Lafleur explain that raising responsible teens isn’t about perfection, but about preparing them for real life. Parents are encouraged to shift from constant teaching and correcting to intentional training — giving teens age-appropriate responsibility, room to make decisions, and space to fail and learn. Allowing natural consequences, resisting control and adjusting expectations helps teens grow. With grace, patience and consistent training, they can become trustworthy, responsible young adults.

If you are in a tough spot with your teen and nothing seems to be working, join Mark at his Families in Crisis Conference. This weekend is designed to help parents of struggling teens. Visit familycrisisretreat.com learn more!
