What Do Teens Wish Parents Knew? An 18-Year-Old Explains | Isabel Minor

Today's episode is a little different. Instead of hearing parenting advice from another expert, you'll hear directly from an 18-year-old about what helped her feel close to her parents growing up.I'm sitting down with my niece, Isabel Minor, who's getting ready to head off to college. I wanted to hear her perspective on what helped her feel heard, respected, and supported, what created distance for some of her friends, and what she wishes more parents understood.Together, we talk about calm parenting, respectful parenting, and what it looks like to lead with kindness and firmness as kids grow into young adults. Isabel shares why listening matters so much, how trust grows over time, and how feeling supported helped her become a confident, independent young adult.✨ By the time you finish listening, you'll discover:⭐ Why many teens pull away when they don't feel heard or respected⭐ Simple ways to strengthen your relationship through calm parenting and kind and firm parenting⭐ How positive parenting strategies can help raise confident, resilient young adults who still want a close relationship with you✨Want more?  ✨JOIN me in the SUMMER of support:  💪❤️💪 https://courses.sustainableparenting.com/courses/summer-of-support✨ Get my 3 KEYS to Calm, Confident Parenting (30 min.
