185 - Adolescence is a New Concept and Parents Are Scrambling

Summary: Dr. Kenneth Wilgus, practicing psychologist for families with teens, joins Joey and his wife, Pricilla, to talk about his book “Feeding the Mouth that Bites You.”  This book, in our opinion, is a must read for parents who currently have teens in their houses or those whose kids are getting close to that age.  Your teens’ need for more autonomy, why presenting a clear plan for freedoms and accountability is so important, “normal lying,” social media, kids fearing parents, and parents’ role as guides and trainers as opposed to controllers are many of the subjects talked about here.
