Is your teen driving you up the wall—or just growing up?
Kate Mason sits down with Dr. Jari Evertsz, a clinical psychologist with over 20 years’ experience, to tackle the rollercoaster of raising teenagers.
From the impact of peer pressure and social media to why your formerly snuggly preteen now grunts from behind a closed bedroom door, this episode is a lifeline for parents navigating the teen years.
Dr Evertsz offers calm, grounded insights on how to replace knee-jerk punishment with calm communication, how to build resilience and trust, and why your household must include chores—even for toddlers.
