Mark Gregston has worked with struggling adolescents for more than 45 years, and thousands of them have lived in his home. Each episode takes one issue, one question, or one moment you're facing with your teen or grandchild and gives you something you can actually use. No long interviews. Just Mark, one idea at a time. Some episodes speak to parents in the daily grind of raising a teenager. Some speak to grandparents looking for a way back into a grandchild's life. All of them are honest about how hard it is, and hopeful about what's still possible.
