You ask your teen to do a simple favor. But instead of doing it, he or she gives you the eyeroll! Many of us have dealt with that! John and Danny bring up some of the challenges parents deal with in letting go when their kids reach the teen years. Also, Dr. Ken Wilgus and Jim Daly discuss how to give your teen appropriate kinds of freedom.
