Episode Notes

In this episode Dr. Ken gives us the first three "backfire" techniques:

1. Continuously teach and preach no matter what your kid’s age.
2. Do not ask about or show interest in your teenager’s views about faith and shut down all disagreements with long speeches.
3. Don’t address your own shortcomings or obvious sin in front of your teenager.
