Your Teenager is The Cosmic Joke The Cosmic Joke

    • Society & Culture

"That is some unicorn shit."
Remaining calm in the face of teenage angst and rebellion is tough, no matter what you know of your teen's unformed prefrontal cortex.
Enter Glen Gonzalez, parenting ninja.
He is sort of cheating — he's not only served in the military, he also has a Master of Social Work from the University of Washington, and he has been a pediatric mental health specialist at Seattle Children's Hospital, an in-home behavioral specialist for the Division of Developmental Disabilities, a regional team leader for the Racial Disproportionality Committee, and a member of the Racial Disparity Committee for Washington state’s Children’s Administration. He's currently a Lecturer at the University of Washington.
In this episode, Jayne and Glen work through the difficulties (and joys — there are joys, we swear) of being a parent, both biological and not. Is being a teenager The Cosmic Joke, or is having one The Joke? 
Listen in for the love, the laughs, and the limits, reached and breached. Find out more about Dr. Jayne DuBois at The Cosmic Joke website: https://www.doyougetthejokeyet.com/
Do you get the joke yet?
