"Send Ben a text"

Does it feel like your teen wants nothing to do with you? The truth is, they don’t hate you—they actually want to connect with you, even if they don’t show it! In this episode, we dive into why teens act distant, how parents can misread their behavior, and the simple changes you can make to build a stronger bond.

We’ll talk about how your beliefs about your teen might be affecting your relationship and why connecting through shared values is so important. You’ll also hear real-life examples, practical tips, and advice for making invitations to spend time together—even when your teen acts like they’re not interested.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated or stuck when trying to understand your teen, this episode will give you the tools and mindset to reconnect and strengthen your relationship. Don’t wait for your teen to come to you—it’s time to take the first step!
