Are you a parent of a new teenager? Are you afraid? Don’t be! This week, I’m sharing ideas for ways to survive and THRIVE through the teen years.Takeaways* Don't take your teenager's behavior personally; it is a natural stage of development.* Pray for your teens and be a source of support and encouragement.* Respect their space and set boundaries that are appropriate for their age and maturity.* Ask questions and listen to your teens to show that you care about their lives.* Don't feel overwhelmed by the concept of liturgical living; focus on what brings joy and meaning to your family.ANNOUNCEMENTSGo beyond the podcast!
