The Futility of Arguing with Teens (TMB110)

As our children become teenagers, they begin to voice their opinions and insist on being heard. As one would expect, this often leads to disagreements and conflict. As parents, though, we must find a way to avoid the common pitfall of being drawn into futile arguments that result in nothing more than frustration, anger, and punishment.

In today’s podcast, Dr. Berney and Dr. Richard discuss some of the common reasons teenagers use arguments and provide parents strategies for dealing with these situations.
