The Art of Retaining Influence with our Teens

Communicating with and influencing our teens get increasingly challenging over time as they develop and perhaps prioritise friendships over family for a time. How can parents still have a hand in influencing our teens in such times? Join our host, June Yong, as she speaks with adolescent psychologist, Nicholas Gabriel Lim. Nicholas dives into the workings of the teenage brain, sheds light on why teenagers behave in ways that puzzle us adults and shares strategies for parents to retain some degree of influence with our teens.  --Have a child who would easily connect with the online world and digital devices, but is less willing to do so with you?
