Summary
Parents of teenagers ask us a lot of questions. This week we take on some of those most frequently asked. Just a few of the questions we answer in this episode include:
- How can we set house rules about phones and technology devices in general?
- Help! My teenager walked in on us... you know... being intimate.
- Is it good to tell your teenager they can call us even if they've been drinking and we'll give them a ride home?
- What if my teenager is scared to start school this fall during the pandemic? What if I'm scared to let them go back?
- We hate her toxic relationship with her boyfriend. What do we do?
