When teens feel judged by their parents, they'll quickly put up walls in the relationship and not receive any of the insight or instruction you're trying to share. So, how do you keep the relationship intact when your child is doing something you might disagree with? In this episode, Mark Gregston shares stories about judgment from his own life and why it's so important to take a non-critical stance when engaging with teens.
