Episode Making the Most of Time with Your Teen
The teen years go by faster than most parents realize. And while your schedule may be packed, the time you intentionally spend with your teen today can shape your relationship for years to come. Mark and Wayne discuss why regular one-on-one time is so important — and how listening without judging, asking thoughtful questions and simply enjoying time together can build trust and open the door to deeper conversations. Mark also shares a personal lesson from his relationship with his own son, while a Heartlight teen offers a powerful perspective on what struggling teens really need from their parents. Don’t underestimate your influence. The time you invest in your teen now could make all the difference later.
