Scenario

When parent-teen connection feels forced versus natural

My teenager and I have these great conversations in the car but whenever I try to recreate that connection at home they shut down and I realize I might be trying too hard to manufacture moments instead of letting them happen naturally but I also don't want to just hope they happen.

More people experience this than they realize.
