Restoration Home with Jennifer Pepito

Jennifer Pepito is joined by Dr Kathy Koch to talk about raising healthy adult children and staying in relationship with them through trial-and-error parenting, making mistakes, and the four pillars to raise healthy children and the importance of choosing relationship whenever possible. 

As any parent with more than one teenager knows, parenting — what you know and what you think you know — shifts dramatically as children come of age. So often parents either react to older children without flexibility, humility or grace and wonder why the formulas of the early years aren't working or they simply give up on parenting. Dr. Koch lays out the ways we can choose connection, learn with our children, and continue to gently shepherd them through their teenage years.
