Teenagers today often have different political views to us, it’s a generational thing. But when these differences strain our relationship with our kids, it’s important to have some skills up your sleeve to find a mutual understanding and respect. In this episode, Ginni and Jo advise a teenager facing this dilemma at home. And, if you’re stuck for dinner table conversation starters with your kids, our hosts share some fun tips to keep things light and enjoyable at the end of the day.
