🎙️ Let’s Talk Teens: How Do I Know When to Let My Teen Quit a Hobby?

Welcome to another episode of "Let’s Talk Teens!" with certified life coaches, Abbi Winslow and Cheree Murdock — where we help parents navigate the tough decisions that come with raising teens.

In this episode, we’re tackling a question many parents wrestle with—when should you let your teen quit… and when should you encourage them to stick it out? Whether it’s sports, music, a job, or another commitment, it can be hard to know if quitting is giving up or making a healthy choice.

We’ll break down the difference between burnout and lack of follow-through, how to guide your teen in making thoughtful decisions, and how to use these moments to teach resilience, self-awareness, and responsibility.

Tune in for practical tools and mindset shifts to help you support your teen without pushing too hard—or letting them walk away too soon. 🎧✨
