Equipping Teens for Adulthood pt. 2

As we guide our teens into adulthood, it's essential that they learn the responsibility that comes with independence. One of the best ways we can do that, as parents, is through "planned emancipation," which gradually grants them freedom to make their own choices before they leave the home. Join Danny as he sits down with Dr. Ken Wilgus & Jessica Pfeiffer to discuss planned emancipation. Later, we answer a question from a listener who wants to know how she should handle her strong-willed 5th grader.
