M Is for Mama Podcast Ep. 137: Taking on Teens (A Chat with RuthAnn Zimmerman)
In a world that tells every parent of young children, “Just you wait until they’re teens. Then you’ll really know how bad parenting can be,” RuthAnn Zimmerman and I are here to call hog wash.
Yes, teens are a unique challenge and need to be treated with kindness and discernment. Yes, teen struggles can feel much bigger and scarier than toddler meltdowns.
But teenagers also can be delightful, funny, and thoughtful.
In this show, we debunk the myth that the teen stage has to be miserable and talk about some strategies we’ve employed to not just survive but thrive through it.
I know you’ll be encouraged to reframe your mindset about teenagers to one of hope rather than dread.
