    136. How to Create a Safe Space for Teens to Talk

    Getting teens to talk isn't about fixing their feelings—it's about creating emotional safety. In this episode, we talk about how parents can become a safe place for teens to open up, why advice often shuts conversations down, and how simple presence builds trust over time. We explore: Why availability matters more than schedules How listening without fixing changes everything Why side-by-side conversations work better than face-to-face How personality and timing affect when kids open up What Winnie-the-Pooh and Eeyore teach us about sitting with hard feelings If you've ever wondered why your teen says "nothing" or "I'm fine," this conversation will help you understand what they may actually be asking for.
