Parents want what they think is best for their kids. They worry about their teens' future, their safety and well being. They struggle between wanting to be involved in their teens' lives and not alienating them. Teenagers, on the other hand, want to explore the independence that comes with growing into an adult. We'll hear excerpts from a panel discussion on teens and communication, which was part of our "In the Spirit of Family" series, presented by WHYY's Children's Service. Our guest was Dr. David Walsh, president and founder of the National Institute on Media and the Family. He has written several books. His most recent is Why Do They Act That Way?: A Survival Guide to the Adolescent Brain for You and Your Teen. Listen » 5/16/05 Couples sometimes turn to counseling to save a troubled marriage.
