#23 3 Parenting Mistakes That Pushed My Teens Away

Your teen pulls away… gets rude… wants more freedom… And suddenly parenting feels high stakes in a way it never did before. In this episode, I'm breaking down the 3 biggest mistakes parents make with tweens and teens (ages 10+)—the ones that quietly damage connection, create entitlement, and leave your child more influenced by the world than by you. Because the truth is... Your teenager doesn't need less from you. They need a different kind of leadership. Inside, you'll learn: – Why pulling back at the wrong moment can cost you connection – What's really behind teen attitude (and why it's not about you) – The biggest mistake that creates entitlement (without you realizing it) – How to stay close and hold boundaries at the same time If you've ever thought: "What if I get this wrong?"
