What happens when a teen’s risk-taking behavior leads to serious injuries? Balancing safety and freedom is a challenge many parents face, especially when dealing with sports-loving teenagers. Today, I sit down with Kelli, a mother from Utah, who navigates this tricky landscape after her son suffered a string of concussions. How do you keep your kids safe while respecting their need for independence?

Together, we explore the power of empathy, the nuances of setting boundaries without triggering rebellion, and the struggle to connect with teens coping with setbacks. I share with Kelli how fostering open conversations and acknowledging our children's emotions can transform our approach to parenting in challenging times.

In This Episode:

Striking a balance between safety and freedom
Using empathy in parenting tough decisions
Navigating sports-related injuries with teens
Encouraging kids to express their feelings
Implementing small, incremental changes for better outcomes
