Have you ever felt distant or disconnected from your teen? It feels terrible. This week I’m sharing a trick that can help you and your teen feel more connected. 

As our kids grow we have to grow with them. We have to go from being the expert in their lives and solving all of their problems (like we did when they were little) to being the steady guide who reassures them that they are capable of making solid decisions for themselves. 

As we treat them with respect and stop trying to control their lives, they magically seem to figure things out. We can’t wait for them to change, we get to go first. We get to lead with love and confidence instead of fear and control.
