Pick Your Battles Wisely

Today’s teens are living in a culture that is often vile and full of demeaning language, and not surprisingly, this is reflected in today’s popular music. So if your teen is listening to music you don’t approve of, should you put a stop to it? Is it a battle worth fighting? In this episode, Mark Gregston addresses this question, along with several others, including how to separate mental health issues from behavioral problems, what to do when your child refuses to talk to you and more!
