You Might Be Solving the Wrong Problem","description":"What's something you really want to be able to talk to your teenager about? Phones? Dating? Friends? Lying? School? I hear some version of this question from moms all the time: "How do I talk to my teenager about this?" But there's a question that comes BEFORE that one: Does your teenager want to talk to you in the first place? In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between knowing WHAT you want to talk about and having the skills to create the kind of conversation where your teenager actually keeps talking. Because this isn't necessarily an effort problem. It may be a skill problem. And that's good news, because skills can be learned, practiced, and sharpened. We'll talk about why awareness alone isn't enough, how your past conversations don't have to predict your future conversations, and the roadmap I use inside my Trusted Method to help moms move toward more confidence, better conversations, and stronger connection with their teenagers. And I'll help you figure out which next step fits where you are right now: If your teenager already talks to you but you want to feel more confident talking about the HARD stuff, my Teen Topic Toolkit is coming soon. \ud83d\udc8c Join my Bestie Club and you'll be the first to hear about it: Join here: https:\/\/newsletter.kristenduke.com\/  If your teenager has stopped opening up, gives you one-word answers, gets defensive, rolls their eyes, or retreats to their room, start with the Trusted Lab Workshop. \ud83c\udf9f\ufe0f Join the next Trusted Lab: (It's October 8th!) https:\/\/lab.kristenduke.com Because before you can have better conversations about the hard things, you need to build the bridge that makes those conversations possible.
