John I. Snyder Season 3 Episode 10

Believe it or not, your kids WANT to talk to you about the social and health challenges they’re facing. But are you ready? Jessica Peck, a pediatric nurse practitioner and mom of four, helps parents escape the secrecy and shame surrounding tough conversations and approach them from a Christian foundation.

With over 20 years as a pediatric nurse practitioner, our guest today comes to us with high credentials and an equally high commitment to the welfare of children and teens. She holds a Doctor of Nursing Practice and is an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse, with a passion for vulnerable children and anti-trafficking. A clinical professor at Baylor University school of nursing, wife of a rocket scientist, and a mom of four teens, she is here to talk about her new book, Behind Closed Doors: A Guide to Help Parents and Teens Navigate Through Life’s Toughest Issues.

Dr. Jessica Peck has a lot to say about teens and their parents facing a tsunami of physical, mental, and emotional health problems, with practical advice on how to create the kind of healthy, happy family lives we all seek. It is a great privilege to speak with her today on The Walk.
