Teens pulling away, parents not reaching out

Do you feel like your teenage son or daughter is pulling away from you? I don’t mean whether they live with you. Or whether you talk. Or whether everything seems “fine” on the surface. I mean something more subtle. That feeling that you don’t quite know how to reach them anymore. That there is distance… even when you’re close. Because many times, it’s not that they are leaving. It’s that we don’t know how to read what they’re going through. Behind the silence… there is fear. Behind the attitude… there is insecurity. Behind “I don’t need you”… there is often “I don’t know how to ask you to come closer.” In the new podcast episode, we talk about this with honesty, and we also share our own experience with our two teenagers. What teenagers don’t say… but deeply feel. And how, as parents, we can hold the connection without invading. If you have children, or if you’ve ever felt lost in this stage… this episode is for you.
