Fresh Take: Amy Betters-Midtvedt on What No One Tells You About Parenting Teens

What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms

You hear that parenting teens is a wild ride. But as Amy Betters-Midtvedt, author of the new book YOU'LL MAKE IT (AND THEY WILL TOO), says, it can also be baffling:

“So much weirdness comes when they go back-and-forth between staying their old selves and becoming their new ones. Conflict will suddenly flow out of nowhere over nothing.”

But you'll make it. And they will too.

Amy Betters-Midtvedt is a Today Parenting contributing author with more than a million readers and twenty-five years of experience working with adolescents and families. In this episode, she and Amy Wilson discuss

• Why teens are constantly flipping from cuddly to crabby
• Why we owe it to our kids to be the best versions of ourselves
• When texting—or GIFs—is the best way to communicate
