About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges of connecting with teenagers as they become more distant and the importance of creating intentional moments for communication.

In this repeat episode we are talking about when our kids become teenagers and they start to pull away. One minute they’re cuddly and telling us everything, and the next they’re distant, and those easy little check-ins seem to disappear. Suddenly, connecting with them takes a little more intention. Sometimes it happens in the car. Sometimes it’s shoveling snow side by side. It’s not about rules, routines or finding the perfect moment anymore—it’s about showing up, creating space, and finding new ways to connect with them on a deeper level. Hosted on Acast.
