Ned shares how he’s teaching his teenage son responsibility and discipline. He talks about the tension between giving his son more freedom while also preparing him for the challenges of adulthood. Ned discusses the steps he’s taking, like assigning his son stewardship of the backyard and involving him in daily routines that encourage independence. He also touches on the importance of tough love, pushing his son to stick with uncomfortable tasks like Jiu-Jitsu, and balancing this with the support needed to help him grow.
