Raising Respectful Teens with Brooke Romney
Episode Summary
Have you ever felt at a loss when faced with your teen's rude behavior? Moments where your requests are ignored, or they respond with sarcasm or eye-rolling? If this sounds all too familiar, this episode is for you.
In this episode, Dr. Cam is joined by Brooke Romney (@brookeromneywrites), the best-selling author of 52 Modern Manners for Today's Teens Volume 1 and 2. Brooke sheds light on how we can foster mutual respect and maintain authority while still strengthening our connection with our teens.
Meet Brooke Romney
Brooke is a writer, speaker, and connector and is committed to sharing real life with a hopeful twist.
She is the best-selling author of three books: 52 Modern Manners for Today's Teens Volume 1 and 2 and I Like Me Anyway: Embracing Imperfection, Connection, and Christ.
Her fresh perspective and relatable style has engaged millions of readers in The Washington Post, Deseret News, Studio 5, Time Out for Women, and on her own blog and Instagram @brookeromneywrites where she has created a vibrant community of women who learn and lift.
Brooke comes from girly roots but has morphed into an outdoor adventuring, dirt loving mom of 4 boys, one daughter-in-law, and a new grandbaby. Her husband keeps her on her toes but loves her unconditionally even when she leaves all the lights on and cupboards open.
When she is not writing or mothering, you can find her in a good book, speaking to groups, volunteering in the schools or on a walk with a friend. She has a weakness for gummy candy, sunshine, youth sports and family travel but also finds magic in the ordinary moments that have become rather sacred in our fast paced world.
Meaningful connection with family, friends, strangers, and God is where she finds purpose and joy.
