    Episode 199: Teenagers and Body Shaming
    Jan 28 2025
    Today we talk about the sensitivity teenagers feel about their bodies and how to help them deal with struggles that arise around their physical development. Turns out, teenagers have control over how easily shamed they feel when facing criticism. We talk about ways to increase your teen's resilience to shame. When should parents step in to talk to school or other authorities to support their teenager who's struggling with being bullied? We also focus on the importance of encouraging adolescents to be supportive of their friends and siblings.

    Episode 197: When Your Teenager Is Out of Control
    Jan 14 2025
    Today we answer a listener question about dealing with a teenager who doesn't follow parents' rules and seem unfazed by any consequences parents give. Is this common? What about parents who "give up" on their teenager but let them live at home? Dr. Ken makes it clear that this is not a common problem and should be evaluated. Also, we talk about common reasons these situations occur. You can order Dr. Ken's book "Feeding The Mouth That Bites You" here: https://a.co/d/hBnlbzI Got questions or feedback?

Amazing parenting advice and help!

Love that this podcast addresses so many issues we face as parents to teenagers. It’s a fantastic accompaniment to the book of the same name.

Great parenting advice for today’s teens

Our only child will be starting middle school next year & I’m listening almost every day (starting from the beginning) to get some good advice before we head into the teen years. I’m getting lots of great tips & now I want the book!

Much needed guidance!

Topics are relevant to what I am needing guidance on. Finally, I found parental advice specific to the adolence age from a Christian perspective but yet practical to this day and age.

great expanded material to the book

the book and podcast has guided our parenting towards planned emancipation. the podcast is well done and so full of practical nuggets of wisdom. from a Christian perspective, but much of the advice would apply to secular parents as well.

not biblical

they spoke about how you should talk about tattoos and piercings with your kids, but they never said what you should talk about. should you tell them it's right or should you tell them it's wrong? all they discussed was when you should let them do the tattoo or piercing. why would that matter?
