Maybe you have a teenager or you're going to have a teenager someday. The transition between childhood and adulthood can be a bumpy one. My friend Dr. Gary Chapman, beloved author of The 5 Love Languages, has raised two kids of his own and counseled countless families in his 40 plus years in ministry. Based on his new book, Things I Wish I'd Known Before My Child Became a Teenager, Dr. Chapman will share on this episode:

3:00 What if my teen is always arguing with me?

4:30 What if my teen doesn't want to go to church anymore?

6:20 Why isn't my teen as talkative as he or she used to be?

8:30 Raising teens who are responsible

10:30 What if my teen is totally unmotivated?

15:00 Talking about intimacy and relationships

18:00 How to deal with anger and your teen

28:00 Providing guidance for the future
