When parents and teens get stuck in technology battles that are really about trust

My teenage daughter and I keep having the same fight about her phone and screen time, but underneath I think we're both scared — she's scared I don't trust her and I'm scared I'm losing her to a world I don't understand. We love each other but we're locked in this pattern where every conversation about technology becomes a battle about control and freedom.
