Ever feel like your teen is speaking a completely different language? You're not alone! In this episode of Your Youth Mentor, I am breaking down what teens really mean when they say things like “I don’t know,” “You never listen,” or give you the silent treatment.
I’ll walk you through why teen brains work the way they do, how their emotions take the lead, and why they often struggle to articulate what’s going on inside. I will also dive into practical strategies—like the Traffic Light System and Curiosity Over Judgment Approach—to help you connect with your teen without pushing them further away.
Plus, I’m sharing my go-to responses for handling “I don’t know” moments so you can open up conversations instead of shutting them down.
If you’re ready to finally understand what your teen is trying to tell you, listen now! And don’t forget to follow @melwhiteparentcoach for more tips on parenting tweens & teens.
