This week, John and I are talking about how we can connect with our teenagers. Specifically, our moody teenage daughters. Let’s face it, raising teenagers isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s arguably the most challenging phase of parenting. If you’re wondering what happened to your darling child or struggling with the fact they don’t need us as much anymore, you’re not alone.
