The sound on this audio got messed up. It will be better in future podcasts, I'm not certain it would be better if I re-recorded this. Tone matters. Love you guys!
If you have found yourself in way too many arguments with your teen lately, or you just want them to talk to you, we have something really simple (not easy per se, but hopefully not too hard :) that will help you have real conversations with them.
Summer is busy, it can feel like whole weeks have gone by and you've barely spoken to your teen. Maybe it has been a while since you felt connected...
Don't worry,
We've got you.
A better relationship with your teen is closer than you think.
This one simple tool is probably missing from your parenting strategy.
If you are missing this tool, it's not your fault. Your parents probably did not know how to use this either.
Even though you probably wanted to parent differently than your parents did, without the right tools, it's hard to do better.
Listen so you can connect with your teen.
