## Resource

If you feel like you’re losing connection with your teen, you’re not alone and you’re not without hope. In this episode, Mark and Wayne unpack one of the most critical needs in adolescence: relationship. Mark shares why disconnection is often the root of rebellion and how small shifts in your parenting can make a lasting impact. You’ll learn three essential changes every parent must make during the teen years, plus practical ways to build deeper connection through time, intentional listening and pursuing your teen — even when they pull away. Because what your teen needs most right now is something only you can give: your presence, your wisdom and your relationship. Find out what makes sharing your perspective so powerful and how you can offer it in ways your teen will actually hear: parentingtodaysteens.org/articles/the-power-of-perspective-2 Parenting Today's Teens is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.
