Hormones, homework, and a brain that won't fully settle until 25 — it's a lot to carry, and most of it stays unspoken. In this conversation, two people who talk with teens every day walk through what's really driving the stress behind the bedroom door, and offer real, doable ways parents can respond: fewer words that land harder, a mailbox for the conversations too hard to say out loud, and a philosophy-first approach to screens. A must-listen for any parent ready to trade frustration for understanding.
