632 Decluttering with Teens and Other Family Members: Life Lessons in Letting Go and Prioritizing What Matters

Hey there, friends! Can you relate to this statement? The Teenage Years: that stage where your sweet kiddos suddenly develop opinions about everything and seem to forget how to unload a dishwasher.

In this episode of Clutter Free Academy, host Kathi Lipp welcomes Amy Betters-Midtvedt, author of “You’ll Make It (and They Will Too),” for an insightful discussion on parenting teenagers. Amy shares personal anecdotes and practical advice, offering hope and encouragement to parents in the trenches of teen years. Whether dealing with resistance to chores or preparing teens for adulthood, this conversation offers valuable insights for parents, grandparents, and educators alike.

Listeners will discover:

How to implement a fair and fun chore wheel system
The value of allowing teens to develop independence and responsibility
Navigating the transition when teens leave for college and return home
How building a strong family community prepares teens for life’s challenges

This episode provides listeners with actionable strategies for fostering independence, improving communication, and creating a harmonious household environment. And as promised, here’s the picture of Amy’s son who has “triple the personality of the average child.”

Could you use a break from cooking (and everything else) once a week? Not only is rest vital for your mind and body, it’s good for your soul too. God designed us to enter into Sabbath rest one day per week, but as you know, meals still need to be made. Your family still needs to be fed.

More than just a collection of delicious recipes—including main dishes, breads, breakfasts, desserts, salads, sides, and yes, soups—this is your guide to establishing a weekly rhythm and routine of meal planning and prep that allows you to have a true day off.

Do something good for your soul and experience the peace that comes with a full day dedicated to spending time with God, family, and friends. Savor your Sabbath as you proudly proclaim, “Soup’s on!”
