P3. Teen-Ternity, Tech Breaks & Talking That Connects

In this episode of Parenting Pulse, we explore the evolving landscape of parenting teens—from the impact of social media on sleep and focus to the rise of “teen-ternity leave,” where parents prioritize presence during adolescence. Discover how small shifts in communication, like asking “What challenged you today?” can deepen connection, and why routines like dinner or evening walks matter more than you think. It’s a candid, research-backed look at raising teens with empathy, intention, and just enough caffeine to keep up. Before you go, I’d love to hear from you. What tip resonated most today?
