About this episode

This episode discusses how allowing teens to take on responsibilities can foster their independence and growth.

Sometimes you can help your teens more when you help them less. Giving them an opportunity to step up and try things on their own provides opportunities for growth and developing independence. CultivaTeen Roots helps parents of tweens and teens navigate adolescence with confidence and connection. Through courses, resources, and community support, we give parents practical tools to understand their child’s development, set healthy boundaries, and strengthen relationships during these transformative years.
