Parenting shouldn’t be a constant power struggle. Sonia Suthar, a 19 year old speaker, educator, and college student, sits down with Bryce Hamilton, LSCSW, on today’s episode of Accidental Experts to discuss what parenting looks like from a teen’s perspective, not as a teen parent, but as the teenage child of parents. Sonia gives tips on what she believes parents in today’s society are doing well (loving their children), and maybe not so well (listening and trusting kids to have good insight, and asking the RIGHT questions). This conversation is SO important in helping parents understand their kids a little better. Not only does Sonia give her insight from her perspective as a teenager, but she also cites research into what teens actually need (and want) in a parent/teen relationship. Listen to Bryce and Sonia as they discuss supporting and guiding teens through a healthy, productive model of parenting.Teamwork, compromise, and truly listening to each other will get you on the right track of successfully parenting teens and having reciprocal trust.
