Freedom to Make Mistakes

HALF-HOUR PODCAST SUMMARY:

When a toddler first learns to walk, parents don’t always hold their child’s hand.  We give them freedom to stumble and fall down sometimes!  On this edition of Parenting Today’s Teens, Mark Gregston explains how allowing your teen room to tumble or make mistakes is the best way to teach independence.  Learn how to encourage a sense of responsibility in your teen, today with Mark Gregston.
