"Bad" Parenting and How to Repair Your Relationship

In this episode, I'm diving deep into the idea that those imperfect parenting moments we all have aren't actually roadblocks – they're chances for us to strengthen our bond with our teens. I'll share some personal stories and lessons that have really hit home for me, showing just how powerful vulnerability and owning up to our mistakes can be in building trust with our kids.

We'll talk about practical ways to make things right after a slip-up, like waiting for the right moment to apologize and being open about our struggles. Plus, I'll emphasize why it's never too late to improve your relationship with your teen – seriously, don't count yourself out!

And there's this cool concept I want to introduce you to called the "Wheel of Life." It's all about practicing positive parenting habits during the good times so you're better equipped to handle the tough stuff when it comes around. Trust me, it's a game-changer.

So if you're ready to turn those "oops" moments into opportunities for connection and growth with your teen, then this episode is definitely for you. Let's dive in and start building those stronger relationships today!
