Parenting a teenager can be confusing.
One day they’re telling you everything.
The next, they’re answering with just one word.
It’s easy to assume they’re pushing you away.
But sometimes, they’re struggling to find the words for what they’re feeling.
Behind the silence may be stress, anxiety, overwhelm, or simply the need to feel understood.
Keep the door open. Keep listening. Keep reminding them they’re safe with you.
And if you’re worried your teenager is carrying more than they can manage alone, reaching out for support is one of the most caring things you can do.
