E15: Teenagers with Daniel Patterson from Patterson Perspective

Daniel Patterson is talking all things teens.

But the cool part about this episode is we had a ton of takeaways to start and implement ourselves, and we don't have any teenagers yet.

His advice and knowledge in the parenting world is insane, and he really brought to light some impactful things for us as well to work on.

When I asked him how might you change your child's behavior around social media, video games, and screens; his answer- "Be the Example."
I can't take away screens, and sit there on my phone on the couch myself. This really resonated with me. I hope you find this episode as awesome as I did interviewing him!
