Training Objectives and Procedures for Teens

Why are the teen years so frustrating for parents? (The teens are asking, "Why are they so frustrating for me?!")

The three training objectives come from Proverbs 1:7-10. 

Consider carefully the discussion on power vs. influence near the end of the episode when seeking to put these objectives into practice.
