Scenario

When parents and teens struggle to share interests without generational awkwardness

My teenage daughter and I both love music but she won't let me play anything in the car anymore and acts embarrassed when I try to share songs I think she'd like. I want us to have fun together around our shared interest but I don't know how to connect with her about music without feeling like the uncool parent.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The power dynamics of parenthood are contaminating what could be genuine shared pleasure.
