Episode: How a Divorce Affects Your Teen
Description: Today, Mark Gregston, Wayne Shepherd and Courtney Lafleur discuss how divorce deeply impacts teens, often creating hidden emotional struggles that parents may not recognize. They explain that teens can develop unhealthy beliefs and behaviors when they feel caught in the middle, experience inconsistent rules or hear one parent badmouth the other. Parents are encouraged to provide structure and never use their teen as a weapon in the conflict. Most importantly, they stress that teens need both parents to show up, listen and continually remind them they are loved and not to blame.Interested in exploring more parenting...
