Join Mark Gregston and Wayne Shepherd as they discuss how teens often act recklessly or impulsively due to underlying emotional needs such as curiosity, a desire to escape or low self-worth. Mark emphasizes that such behavior is a visible sign of invisible struggles in a teen’s heart. Parents should seek to understand the root causes by asking questions and staying engaged, rather than just trying to control behavior. Building trust, setting boundaries and focusing on heart transformation, not just rule-following, are key to helping teens thrive.
