When teenagers roll their eyes, become irritable, or start pulling away, what might they really be trying to communicate?Carrie talks with certified teen life coach and former high school educator Justyna Bronski about what teens need from the adults in their lives—and how parents and teachers can create relationships where teens feel safe, seen, heard, and valued.They discuss why behavior is often only the surface of what a teen is experiencing, how adults can respond without immediately reacting, and why every teen needs at least one trusted adult.
