This episode first aired under the original name, The Parenting Reset Show. Now we are the Single Parenting Reset podcast–supporting single parents of tweens and teens with real talk on screen time, communication and managing behavior.

Want to know what’s really on the minds of older teen boys as they prepare to step into adulthood?

In this episode, Tess Connolly, LCSW, sits down with three older teen boys — Arthur, Peter, and Luca — for an open and insightful conversation about the stresses they face, their future plans, and the relationships that matter most. They discuss how they manage stressful times, what they want parents to understand about teens today, and how family support shapes their confidence and well-being.

• Hear directly from older teens about their real-life challenges and coping strategies.
• Learn how strong parent-teen relationships prepare kids for life after high school.
• Discover what teens wish parents understood about their stress, friendships, and goals.

Press play to get candid, valuable insight from older teen boys on what it takes to support them as they launch into the world.
