Oh, we've all been there. Those giant explosions of teenage emotion. Those moments when you want to run out the door, get in your car (alone) and head to a country with no extradition treaty.  Well, either that OR you want to body slam your kid (just kidding of course...), maybe scream at them though, cry or take that dang phone away like forever!

Let me help you with this just a little bit. We're going to talk about gaining a little empathy for your teens that will, in turn, help you keep from losing your $h*!.
