Tried to connect, only to be met with silence or resistance…
Wondered if fear—yours or theirs—is the real barrier between you…

Then this episode will give you hope. Together, we’ll uncover 4 insights about fear and connection that can help you break the silence and open the vault to your teen’s heart.
