Episode Description
Why do parents react so emotionally when teens make mistakes? How do we balance authority with empathy without robbing kids of their self-worth?
In this episode of the Turning Winds Podcast, host Kevin Zundl talks with Carl Baisden about what really happens in the heat of parenting challenges.

* Why failure is essential to growth for both teens and parents
