Please join us as we continue our discussion on Raising an Independent Child: The Middle Years. Our guests include Colleen Labbadia and Kate Vanderweele sharing their experiences parenting in those adolescent and early teen years (middle school and high school ages) with a mindset of preparing their children for a future with independence. Listen in on this great conversation where Colleen and Kate talk through successful practices to build ownership, self-advocacy, and incorporate "low stakes" situations that empower their young boys to autonomy.
