...Teenagers?! (with Jamelia)

At some point, you have to accept that you're going to become the parent or caregiver you complained about when you were a teenager.


But the challenges facing upcoming generations of teens are very different from what many of us faced, similar to how our challenges were different from our parents'. How do we maintain communication, boundaries, respect and our sanity when it comes to dealing with our growing kids? The one and only Jamelia let's us know how she does it and what she's learned as a mother of four different aged kids.
