	Description:		TIME magazine reports that the teen unemployment rate is the highest since the government began tracking it in the 1940s. Only 4.5 million teens are employed, which is roughly half the 9.2 million who were employed three decades ago. Teens are missing out on vital work experience, plus all the lessons, responsibility, and income for the future that come from a job. It’s tough being a teen today without the added uncertainties of what the economic future holds. So what can parents do to help their kids succeed, especially now? Not Just Talkin' the Talk Welcomes Author and Radio Personality Mark Gregston to the show! Mark Gregston hosts the radio program Parenting Today’s Teens, heard daily on more than 2,500 stations. Mark’s background as a youth pastor, a Young Life area director, and the founder of Heartlight Ministries, coupled with his passion for helping parents caught in difficult situations, provides the foundation for his speaking. His effectiveness in communication is grounded in his practical approach and the lessons learned from his years of having struggling high school kids living out his back door.
