About this listen
Here's hope for frazzled families!
Parents of teenagers need new role models. When our cubs are young, Mama Bear is a fine example: strong, smart, sassy, sure of herself. But she is a dangerous role model when our kids turn into adolescents. When puberty hits and life turns into a three-ring circus, Mama Bear hibernates. Goes to sleep on the job. Parents do the same. We tend to check out (because, teenagers are awful, and we're exhausted), leaving our kids vulnerable on their rocky journey toward adulthood.
From a high school teacher (and parent) who has seen it all, here is some frank, funny, practical advice for staying vigilant during these topsy-turvy years. Parents who know, protect, and honor their teenagers can find balance for the whole family. New role models - the peregrine falcon (watch them), the ninja (disarm them), the personal trainer (work them), the mentor (guide them), and many more - can help!
