You’re listening to Voices of Your Village, and today’s episode is part of our summer series, Honoring the Individual. Over the summer months, we’ll be revisiting some of our favorite conversations—episodes that remind us of a core truth: there is no one-size-fits-all approach to supporting children. Today I'm joined by someone I deeply respect, Doctor Ann-Louise Lockhart, clinical psychologist and author of the book Love the Teen You Have. In this episode, we dive into the often messy world of parenting tweens and teens. Dr. Lockhart and I explore how connection, not control, is the foundation for healthy, respectful relationships with our kids as they grow. This conversation is packed with real tools and grounded wisdom for anyone parenting through the big feelings and growing independence of adolescence. And stay tuned later in September—we have an exciting announcement that will make it easier than ever to move beyond generic advice and access support tailored to the individual child, student, or family you're supporting. Alright folks, let's dive in.
