How do we truly connect with our teens beyond the eye-rolls, slammed doors, and one-word answers? In this episode of Your Youth Mentor Podcast, I dive deep into what lies beneath the surface of teen behaviour — and why understanding this is the key to better communication, stronger relationships, and more peaceful homes.

You’ll hear:

  • Why focusing only on behaviour misses the bigger picture
  • What your teen’s “difficult” moments are really trying to tell you
  • How to move from control to connection using curiosity
  • The real reason your teen might be shutting down — and what to do about it

If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t even know who my teen is anymore,” this episode is for you.

Let’s shift from reacting to reflecting and responding — because your teen doesn’t need a perfect parent, they need a curious one.


Hosted by Mel White — Parent Coach, youth mentor, and the bridge between you and your teen.
