*DOOR SLAM*
Your teen locked themselves in their room again when you attempted to communicate family expectations.
When did this get so hard?
Just yesterday, they were a smiling, happy child. Now, you can’t go a day without a moody outburst.
It’s hard to have a basic conversation, let alone one that goes into the “harder” topics like their friends, grades, or future plans.
This is the question so many parents have, and after sitting down with over 760 teenagers in the therapy room, there is one thing I know for sure:
You don’t have to have all the answers; you just need a genuine desire to love your teen the best way possible and with the right approach.
