Guiding Your Teen into Adulthood (Part 1) - Dr. Ken Wilgus, Jessica Pfeiffer, and Ashley Parrish
Dr. Ken Wilgus has developed a parenting process he calls “planned emancipation” whereby parents prepare their teens for adulthood by gradually giving them authority over their own decisions. Real-life moms Jessica and Ashley join Dr. Wilgus to share their experiences with this planned emancipation, as well as some of their struggles in implementing the process. They address the problem of teen entitlement and how to combat that with serving others. They also reviewed a list of common parenting mistakes such as lecturing, getting too involved, and not differentiating between advice vs. “have-to” rules. Finally, they discussed how and why parents must eventually let their teens make their own decisions about church and faith.

This was wonderful I wished the book had been available when my teens were living at home. Can I ask for prayers for my Son, Michael? He is an alcoholic and lost his wife to stomach cancer 5 months ago and is struggling dealing with this loss! My heart breaks for him! How can I help him? I know he has to grieve his way but his drinking is encouraging his denial! I am praying for God’s Grace to comfort him. Is that all I can do? ❤️🙏🙏🙏❤️
25:33 gosh this part really spoke to me! Wow
I have 3 teenagers now and I feel like I need some therapy juggling their emotions 😁
This was encouraging 🙏🏽
This was so helpful.
Thank you Focus on the Family
😊👏👏👏 GLORY THANK YOU
My teenage son is sheltered, he’s 16, and will be starting college next year. How do I grow him up fast so he’s wise and vigilant by then?
How many hours per week should a 14 year old get on their phone?
