#122 - The Importance of Creating a Good Connection With Your Teen - with Kari O'Driscoll -
INTRO
Kari O’Driscoll is a writer and parenting coach. Her most recent book came out about a month ago and it's called, "Happy, Healthy Teens: Why Focusing on Relationships Works"
WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT -
Teenage years can be really tough for both the teen and their parents. It's often a time when relationships break down as the child transitions from child to young adult. So whilst they can be challenging times, it’s really important for the connection between the parent and teen to be nurtured.
The importance of a connection with your teen
How to navigate through the difficulties and make things less fraught for you both
Why it’s important for parents to understand the role of power and how power actually destroys relationships.
Supporting your teen to take those faltering steps and spread their wings, knowing you are there in the background cheering them on.
