Episode 8: Why Won't My Teen Talk To Me?
13:19
 

I think nearly every parent at some point has said the phrase “you can tell me anything”. But so many parents end up frustrated because they feel like their teen isn’t opening up and never shares anything with them.

So what’s going on?

On today’s episode I invite parents to reflect on 4 key questions that will shed some light on why your teen might be reluctant to open up to you.

Together, we will explore:

  1. How to respond to your teen in ways that invite more communication instead of less.
  2. How your own habits and behavior are affecting how safe your teen feels being vulnerable with you
  3. Strategies you can start using today to encourage more trust and more open communication from your teen.
