Parenting teens can feel like navigating an emotional obstacle course—with eye rolls, slammed doors, and the constant question: “Am I doing this right?” In this episode of Burnt Pancakes: Momversations, I’m joined by the creators of Cultivateen Roots, a course designed to help parents understand their teens, build stronger communication, and foster independence without losing connection.
We talk about what’s really going on in the teen brain, why your teen might be pushing you away, and how to set boundaries that actually bring you closer together. Whether your teen is full of sass, silence, or both—this episode offers practical tools and fresh encouragement for the parenting trenches.
In this episode, we cover:
- The #1 mindset shift that helps you connect with your teen
- How to reopen communication when your teen shuts you out
- What’s happening in the adolescent brain (and why it matters!)
- Tips for setting boundaries while supporting independence
- How to stay calm when your teen is anything but
- Encouragement for parents who feel like it’s “too late” to reconnect
