Abby Schaber sat with us last week for Part 1 of her interview where she shared the boundaries every parent needs to know in a world of increased depression and anxiety among teens. Once we establish those rules and limits for our children, we need a plan to recognize the warning signs for self esteem or anxiety issues among our adolescents or teens. We need solutions for what to do if we DO see these signs and more than that we need encouragement to put the quality family time in NOW so we can avoid the heartache or regret later.
