    Welcome to a profound exploration of the intricate dance between parents and adolescents in this episode. As families traverse the transformative landscape of adolescence, conflicts become a pivotal part of the journey. This phase is a nexus of evolution, replete with physical, emotional, and cognitive shifts. Amidst these changes, parents and adolescents often find themselves at odds, grappling with contrasting perspectives, values, and priorities.

However, these conflicts aren't adversaries to be feared; they are markers of development. The triggers, those sparks that ignite disagreement, offer insights into understanding and connection. By fostering open communication, mutual respect, and empathy, families can traverse this intricate phase while nurturing strong and supportive bonds. In this episode, host Dina Sargeant welcomes Zahwa Islami, an accomplished Indonesian clinical psychologist specializing in family and relationship dynamics. With her wealth of experience, Zahwa brings valuable insights to the table. Currently engaged in the Executive Office of the President, within the Department of Health, Women Empowerment, and Child Protection, she offers a unique perspective on bridging gaps and fostering harmony.
