As our kids grow up, our family systems expand. While we’ve always had outside factors influencing our family system - whether our extended family, work, school, friends, church, organizations, etc - when our kids were younger, we could control the outside influences much more. But now, we start to see just how little control we have over the inputs into our family system. In this episode, we'll begin the conversation about the expanding complexities of our families' ecosystems. Their friends, boyfriends and girlfriends, school, sports teams, jobs, extracurriculars, other parents – because as our kids get older, all of these different groups start permeating our families' boundaries more and more, and our families need to adjust. In part 1, we'll talk about school and the role we, as parents, should play in our teens' education. How can we help them to be successful, stable, happy students?
