Part 2 | Parenting: A Teen’s Perspective (Ep8)

“When children end up comparing themselves to other kids, they can be hurt mentally.”

“…and it ends up creating a toxic mindset which we need to then learn to overcome.”

These were some of the thoughts that were expressed by our teenaged guests, as we continued our conversation over ‘Parenting, A Teenager’s Perspective‘.
