Does it ever feel like your teenager just doesn’t hear you?

You remind them about chores, offer advice, try to connect and all you get back is silence, an eye roll, or a quick “whatever.”

In this encore episode, I unpack one of the biggest frustrations parents face: why teens seem to tune parents out and what’s really going on beneath the surface.

You’ll hear about:

  • Why advice often makes teens shut down
  • How to shift from “fixing” to listening
  • Why chores and constant reminders can backfire
  • What brain changes make teens focus on peers over parents
  • How to respond in ways that build connection, not conflict

If your teen feels like they’ve stopped listening, this episode will help you understand why. and what small changes can help rebuild your connection.

Listen now and find practical ways to reconnect with your teen.
