You may recall earlier this fall my husband and I launched a podcast. We’re only releasing one short series at a time, but will occasionally throw in a bonus guest episode. This week I’m thrilled to offer our first Bonus – my conversation with Jessica Thompson – author, speaker, podcaster and fellow mom of teens.
Jessica has written 7 parenting related books including her latest, How to Help Your Anxious Teen: Discovering the Surprising Sources of Their Worries and Fears. Thus, teen anxiety is the topic we tackled.
With 1/3 of all teens now experiencing anxiety, we talked about why. Plus,
- How parents, our culture and the church contribute to teens’ anxiety
- How kids have become parents identity
- How parents rob kids of learning to deal with difficulty
- The message parents need to be giving teens and parents need too
I hope you find our conversation helpful. If you do, would you share it with a friend, on social media, or write an Apple podcast review? Click HERE to listen.
You can connect with Jessica on her website, Instagram, Facebook, or her podcast Front Porch with the Fitzes. And her books can be found on Amazon.
