Your Teen Wants YOU To Connect With Them!
If you're like the parents I work with, you want a better relationship with your teen.
Me too!
In fact, I want to help as many parents as I can to create better relationships with their teens.
The problem is, . . .
. . . If you're like most parents, you want your teens to connect with you . . .
. . . BUT, your teen wants YOU to connect with them!
And, what ends up happening looks a lot like this.
You try to get your teen to change, (get better grades, be more honest, be happier, be more obedient, be less anxious) so you guys can have a better relationship, and your teen tries to get you to change (be less controlling, change your values and opinions, and leave them alone) so you guys can have a better relationship.

You don't have to be perfect. There will be times when you don't trust your teen. There might even be times when you don't like your teen, but you always have the power to balance the scales.
