Summary
I hope you’re enjoying summer and hopefully getting a little extra time with your kids!
The next few weeks we’re going to be sharing some of the “best of” Pardon the Mess interviews. Hard to believe we’ve released over THREE HUNDRED episodes! With so many new people joining along the way, we want to be sure you didn’t miss some of our favorite interviews.
Today we’re re-releasing our conversation with licensed psychologist Ken Wilgus, and he is talking with us about parenting teens.
If you don’t have a teen yet, no worries, because you can never prepare too early for navigating the treacherous waters of adolescence (just kidding—kind of).
Dr. Wilgus shares his ideas behind “planned emancipation,” the strategy of preparing our kids for adulthood by carefully and progressively letting go of our control in key areas of their lives.
We talk about this in the context of giving freedom in the music they listen to, the friends they pick, and even the state in which they keep their rooms.
Glad you’re with us today!
In this with you,
Cynthia Yanof | Pardon the Mess

| 0:43.4 | and equip them to share the truth and love of Jesus within their communities. And so when people |
| 0:47.5 | in all these different nations and all these different communities are seeking answers and |
| 0:51.6 | they're trying to find change in their lives. |
| 0:55.4 | They can be pointed to Jesus. |

| 1:12.1 | Let me tell you how day three has looked over here, similar to day one and two. And that is that I |
| 1:17.1 | have gotten up. I have spent a little time with my youngest working on some school things, |
| 1:21.9 | made people breakfast, done all the things. And then I'm thinking, okay, I'm going to get stuff |
| 1:25.8 | done, be productive in my own life. |
