Raising a teenage son comes with its challenges—shifting moods, boundary-pushing, and the constant pull of screens. So how do you guide them through high school while keeping your relationship strong? In this episode, I sit down with a panel of experts to tackle the biggest parenting struggles, from getting them to open up to setting rules that actually work. Tune in for practical strategies to navigate these years with more confidence and less frustration.
