When a child is acting out, you actually have to give them more responsibility.
Raising teenagers can feel like navigating a minefield, especially with today's unique challenges like social media pressures, climate change worries, and pandemic-induced isolation. In this episode of 'A Skeptic's Path to Enlightenment', host Scott Snibbe sits down with Richard Prinz, a seasoned marriage, child, and family counselor with over 20 years of experience in Cupertino, California public schools.
Prinz also brings a rich background in Buddhist practice, having served as the director of the Vajrapani Institute Buddhist retreat center when the Dalai Lama visited in 1989. During their conversation, Scott and Richard explore practical ways parents can transform their own minds to better support their teens. Prinz shares invaluable advice on dealing with technology's impact, fostering social and emotional support at home, and building strong relationships through respect, connection, compassion, and empathy.
He also touches on ageism in parenting and the crucial role mentors play in a teenager's life. But this episode isn't just for parents. Even if you don't have teens at home, you'll find Richard's wisdom inspiring and applicable to managing difficult emotions and broader world issues. The discussion wraps up with thoughts on letting go and finding freedom in your parenting journey.
Whether you're struggling to connect with your teen or simply looking for fresh perspectives on parenting, this episode offers a blend of practical advice and deep insights. Tune in for a conversation that's both enlightening and down-to-earth.
