Erin and Brooke both have TEENAGERS in their homes now, so this episode couldn’t come at a better time!

We’re living through some of the struggles of raising teens—along with all of the great things about this season of a kid’s life—but when we read the title of Connie Alber’s new book, Parenting Beyond the Rules, we knew it was perfect for the show. We’ve always encouraged our readers and listeners to be “students” of their children. Meaning there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting. There’s no equation for parenting success. Tune in today to discuss the idea of parenting beyond the rules our society—even inside the church—has set up for us and learn why your relationship with your teens is one of the most important things on your parenting list!
