Are you a "phubber?!" How do you get your teens on board with putting your and their cell phone down during conversations? Let's chat about improving your parent/teen connection! We probably all will admit we get distracted by our phones during conversations. We probably also admit that it hinders our connection and focus with the ones we love the most!

So...what are some effective ways to bring reason and common sense into the mix and how can we kick "phubbing" to the curb?! We get into this most important discussion about phone boundaries in Episode #80.

Let's goooooooooooo moms and dads!

Hey there Very Important Parents! We are striving to create a world-class podcast for parents of teen athletes and performers that is available for watching and listening on YouTube. We can also be found on and the usual other places you get your podcasts like Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

New episodes drop every Monday.

We would be most grateful if you would SUBSCRIBE to our Podcast's YouTube channel where our unique show for parents of teen athletes and performers resides.

We'd be even more grateful (if that's possible) if you would like, review, comment, and/or SHARE an episode or two with another parent of a teen athlete or performer.

And...if you love the show, we would love it and be so grateful if you posted a glowing 5 star review along with sharing it with a few Parental Unit friends who would love it too. And as always, moms and dads, we're cheering you on as you Stop Parenting & Start Coaching!
