![Parenting a teenager can feel like navigating storms, silence, distance, and sudden moments of connection that disappear just as quickly as they arrive.

This video is a cinematic, psychology-based guide through the 7 emotional stages of raising a teen. You’ll learn why they pull away, how their brain changes, what calm parenting really means, how to repair after conflict, how to spot real danger, and how to stay connected as they become themselves.
