We have 3 teenagers in our home & it is by far my favorite stage!!! They are snarky, sarcastic, funny, amazing and I am privileged to be with them. I love when you get a small glimpse of who they are going to be as grown ups – and how amazing they will be. And the car ride communication is so right on. My gang always asks the uncomfortable questions – sex, alcohol, religion…in the car… because you can’t look them in the eye & at some point you get to your destination! Great article!

I have three sons, ages 15, 13, 10. Bed time is the best time for us to talk and ask questions. I love the idea of being a consultant instead of a manager. Believe me I have been Fired and have been looking for a new position! Consultant it is. Great article with lots of good tips.
