- Maintaining Connection During the Teenage Years
Have you ever felt like you're losing your little one as they grow into a teen? Imagine the mix of pride and heartbreak as your child starts to pull away, seeking independence while you long for those cozy, close moments. How do we navigate this bittersweet transition?
Today, I explore the emotional rollercoaster of transitioning from parenting young children to guiding adolescents. It's a journey filled with unexpected challenges and poignant moments of letting go. As our children grow and seek more independence, we often feel a deep sense of loss, coupled with the fear of not being needed anymore. But this phase, while challenging, is also a crucial period of growth for both parents and children.
I’ll share with you my own struggles and realizations during my daughter Esme's transition into adolescence. From feeling like the center of her world to navigating the painful moments of rejection and the need for autonomy, I want you to understand how important it is to reframe these experiences. By leaning into connection, understanding our children's need for independence, and finding new ways to bond, we can maintain a strong, supportive relationship.
In This Episode
- The emotional impact of children growing up
- Coping with feelings of loss
- Understanding your child's need for autonomy
- Navigating the push-pull dynamics of adolescence

Ever wondered if punishing your child for bad behavior might actually be counterproductive? Picture this: your child hits their sibling. Instead of a timeout, what if you offered a hug and some empathy? How might that change the dynamic?
I want to challenge some deeply rooted beliefs in traditional parenting that may benefit from a new perspective, such as the notion that punishment is essential for teaching right from wrong. I believe our children naturally desire to do well and that their behaviors often indicate a need for connection rather than defiance. By understanding the underlying needs that drive your child’s actions, you can foster a stronger bond and guide them with empathy and respect.
In This Episode
- Challenging the necessity of punishment
- Understanding behaviors as cries for connection
- Recognizing the inherent goodness in children
- Responding to misbehavior with empathy
- The impact of traditional wisdom on parenting
- Empowering parents to connect with their kids

What happens when parenting dynamics take a sudden turn? Can connection truly transform challenging behaviors? Today, I sit with Taryn, one of our inspiring Peace and Parenting coaches, to recount her journey from traditional parenting to embracing connective parenting.

Her story beautifully illustrates how deeper connection and empathy not only reshape parent-child relationships but also rejuvenate the entire family dynamic.
Taryn shares the complexities she faced when her seemingly 'easy-going' firstborn started showing regressive behaviors and aggression towards her younger sibling. Her light bulb moment led her to embrace new parenting tools, which turned around her family's struggles and cultivated deep bonds. From enduring sibling rivalry to teenagers who feel completely safe in their authentic selves, Taryn's story encapsulates the highs and lows of parental connection.

Is compliance really the goal in parenting neurodivergent kids? Have you ever wondered if there's a better way to connect with your neurodivergent child beyond the conventional methods of rewards and punishments? Today, I reflect on the profound impact of connection in parenting, especially for children with ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergent conditions.
Many believe these kids need strict compliance through rewards and punishments due to their executive functioning challenges. But I challenge that notion. What if the secret to truly supporting our children lies in the strength of our connection with them? I've worked with wonderful families with neurodivergent kids, and I believe that traditional methods might not be the best approach and that connection can foster genuine growth and understanding.
In this Episode
- Connection over compliance for neurodivergent kids
- Traditional methods vs. connection-based parenting
- The challenges with rewards and punishment systems
- Success stories of connection-focused parenting
