10 Ways to Connect With Your Teen

Having a teen is as hard as having a newborn! All the firsts and all the angst, let’s face it the stakes are really high and we parents worry tremendously about our children and the teen years can really exacerbate our worry and stress. What I know works is connection, but many times parents pull away from their teens because the teens are trying to find their own way too. When I lean into being with and understand my teens they respond with more kindness and the ability to self-regulate more readily. Listen in as I give you 10 ways to do this. You can also sign up for my guide for connecting with teens here, it'll help you connect and bond with your growing young adults.   Have you ever felt alone in your parenting, as if you were the only one struggling?
