Do you ever feel like your teen just tunes you out — no matter how much you lecture, explain, or plead with them?

If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of disconnection, arguments, or power struggles, you’re not alone. The truth is, no advice or strategy works if there isn’t connection first. Without it, your teen won’t hear you — and you’ll feel even more frustrated.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why connection is the foundation of influence with your teenager.

• 3 practical strategies to build “connection capital” so your teen is more open to listening.

• How to repair connection after you’ve yelled or lost your cool — and why this actually strengthens respect.

Hit play now to discover how to create deeper connection with your teenager and transform the way you communicate at home.

Discover how you naturally respond in high-stress parenting moments—and how to shift back to calm, connected communication. Take the quiz now—it only takes a minute!
