The second half of the show we discuss a blog written by Kate Hunter titled ” The Age Your Kids Need You Around The Most”  Many times parents tend to take a less active role of parenting during the pre-adolecent stage as children begin to spread their wings.  Many experts believe this is the time when they need us the most.
