Summary

Today we take on some of the questions we get from parents. How can you give room freedom if your teenager shares that room with a sibling? What can parents do about making sure their adolescent is eating well? Also, Jessica accidentally hits a nerve with Dr. Ken by asking about what sources parents use to get parenting advice. Cue the soapbox. If you have a minute, please leave us a review. We love hearing listeners encouraging other listeners. You can order Dr. Ken's book "Feeding The Mouth That Bites You" here: https://a.co/d/hBnlbzI Got questions or feedback? We want to hear from you!

0:53.7	just in person, people talking, parents talking.
0:56.9	And I think there are some important topics that don't quite have enough information there
1:02.9	to do an entire podcast around. But there are questions that a lot of parents have mentioned to us
