en Your Bond & Communication Kristina outlines three powerful strategies to improve your communication with teenagers:
The Full Attention 10-Minute Rule [01:19]: Commit to 10 minutes of uninterrupted, full-attention time with each child daily. This is about quality, not quantity—meaning no phones and lots of open-ended questions to truly connect with your teen's world.
Become a Hobby Apprentice [05:03]: Boost your teen’s confidence by asking them to teach you one of their current interests, whether it's a video game, a popular dance move, or a social media feature. Position your teen as the expert to build a low-pressure, shared-time environment.
The Ritual of the Road/Car Confessions [08:16]: Designate a non-negotiable, distraction-free weekly activity (like a dog walk or a drive home from practice). This consistency creates a safe, predictable time for your teen to naturally open up, which is vital for a stronger parent-teen relationship.
Model Healthy Habits & Resilience The second half focuses on promoting well-being without being over-controlling: Family Movement Challenge [12:38]: Implement a fun, monthly family challenge (like hiking or trying a new dance class) to collectively model an active lifestyle and physical well-being. Incentives are okay!
Prioritize and Protect Sleep [14:12]: Establish a household rule for a device docking station outside of all bedrooms 30-60 minutes before lights out. This crucial step supports prioritizing sleep and sets clear screen time rules for teens.
Model Vulnerability and Stress Management [16:57]: Share your own non-teen related stress management techniques (e.g., "I need to journal for 15 minutes to clear my head"). Teach your child to cope by modeling vulnerability and taking responsibility for your mistakes—or valuing the oops [19:34]. Start building a stronger, healthier connection with your teen now. You've got this, parents!

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.

To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
