Your Teen’s Growing Up; It’s Time To Rediscover Yourself

As parents, we often lose touch with ourselves while focusing on our kids. Then, as they grow up and move out, finding our purpose and identity again can be a challenge. Ginni and Jo share tips on rediscovering yourself as your teens gain independence. Also, we have advice on navigating interactions with the parents of your child’s friends that you may not see eye to eye with.
