In this episode, I address a heartfelt question from a listener, a 62-year-old father who feels disconnected from his teenage daughters. He is eager to understand their changing interests and how to maintain a meaningful relationship despite feeling sidelined. I provide insights into adolescent development, effective communication strategies without emotional pressure, and the importance of evolving from a managerial to a consultant role in parenting.
Key Takeaways:
"As parents, your job shifts from being a manager to a consultant as your child grows." — Marie
"Effective communication is about curiosity, not criticism." — Marie
