In this episode of Two Dogs Barking: Truths and Tangents, we dive into the messy, meaningful world of parenting teens — where trust isn’t just given, it’s built. I’m unpacking what it really means to empower young people to make decisions, not by controlling them, but by educating them on outcomes, risks, and real-world consequences.
We’ll talk about how setting boundaries isn’t about being the bad guy — it’s about showing you care deeply. It’s about giving teens the tools they need to navigate life safely, confidently, and with growing independence. And yes, the dogs will probably bark, because even they have opinions.
If you’re a parent, educator, or just someone trying to understand the teenage brain (bless you), this one’s for you.
