How to Parent Teens Without Losing Your Mind with Asumini Kasule

Описание: Most parenting advice stops at "the teen years get harder." But what do you actually do about it?

In this episode, parenting and career coach, Asumini Kasule breaks down why your relationship with your teenager is the foundation of their success—and why working on yourself is more powerful than trying to change them.

This isn't about being your teen's best friend. It's about being the parent they need while building the connection that lets you actually influence them during the years when peer pressure peaks.

You'll learn:
✅ The prophetic model for parenting teens (hint: it's about befriending, not controlling)
✅ How to set firm limits without being authoritarian
✅ Why "innocent oppression" destroys connection (and how to stop doing it)
✅ A practical screen time framework that actually works
✅ How to guide career choices without creating resentment
✅ Managing your own emotions so you can show up calm for your teen
