Teens may pull away, and parents may wonder how to navigate boundaries and stay connected.\nIn this episode of the Thriving Kids, Dr. Dave Anderson is joined by pediatric psychologist Dr. Ann-Louise Lockhart to talk about what actually helps build a stronger, healthier relationship with your teen — even during tough moments.\nThey discuss:\n• Why teens push back and pull away during adolescence\n• What real connection with teens looks like (and what it doesn’t)\n• How to set limits without damaging trust\n• Common parenting mistakes that increase power struggles\n• How to stay grounded when emotions run high\n• Practical ways to rebuild connection after conflict\nThis conversation focuses on realistic, evidence-based strategies parents can use to improve communication, reduce tension, and strengthen trust — without trying to control or fix their teen.\nFurther reading\nTips for Communicating With Your Teen – Child Mind Institute\nHelp!
