Description
Sometimes it might seem like our teens make choices without a thought about what consequences could follow — but that's rarely really the case. All behavior is goal-oriented. In today's show, Mark Gregston and Courtney LaFleur talk with two Heartlight teens, including Ben, who'd previously been arrested for stealing cars at only 13 years old. He describes his turbulent journey through various programs before landing at Heartlight, where he learned the importance of change, taking responsibility and rebuilding his relationship with his parents. Check it out!
