Don't Miss This Special Event for Parents of Teens

Parenting coach Kim Muench and New York Times bestselling author Julie Lythcott-Haims (How to Raise an Adult) are hosting a free online conversation The New Launch: Adult Children and Parents Living Together Longer, on Thursday, October 1 at 7:00pm CST. They'll dig into why launching looks so different than it did a generation ago and what parents can start doing now, whether their kid is 14 or 24. Registration is free and a replay will be available for 48 hours following the event.

Hi Reader,

No one likes thinking of the worst-case scenario, but the truth is, sometimes our teens mess up in a big way. While most of us will never deal with our teen getting arrested, it may be good info to have just in case because you never know when your child may be at the wrong place at the wrong time, or make a wrong choice in the moment.

Until Next Time,

Whitney and the PTT Team
