Parenting teenagers comes with its own unique challenges, but it’s never too late to create meaningful connections and foster a peaceful home. In this episode, I sit down with parenting coach Janine Mushawar, who specializes in helping moms and dads build strong, connected relationships with their teens.

Janine shares her personal journey of navigating struggles with her three teenagers, which inspired her to explore transformative parenting methods like conscious parenting and dialectical behavioral therapy. These strategies not only changed her family dynamics but also fueled her passion for coaching parents.

We discuss the mindset shifts necessary for parenting teens, including:

Adapting Your Approach: Why traditional strategies often fail with adolescents and how to nurture independence while staying connected.
Curiosity Over Advice: How open-ended, non-judgmental questions foster deeper dialogue and respect.
Handling Tough Situations: Practical tips for addressing risky behaviors, building confidence, and managing disrespect with empathy and calm.
Self-Regulation: Why calming yourself before addressing issues can prevent escalation and improve communication.

While this episode focuses on parenting teens, it’s packed with valuable insights and strategies that are beneficial for parents of younger children, too. By implementing these tools early, you can lay the foundation for a strong relationship as your child grows.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about how to navigate the teenage years—or want to prepare for what’s ahead—this episode offers the guidance and reassurance you need to build a stronger connection with your child. Don’t miss it!
