Reconnect With Teens | 10 Hacks For Moms
Channel: Working Mom Warrior
Date: 2019-11-09

Confronting teen issues can be scary, because our children are making decisions without us that could put them in harm’s way or even impact them for life. It’s even harder when they start pulling away from us emotionally, and we feel like they’re no longer sharing their fears, their desires, their plans, their social life and their online activities. A mom with three teens has learned how to navigate those tough times, and she shares 10 hacks that helped her get past the emotional distance that developed between her and her teenage son.

It can be such a tumultuous time for moms and their kids, like walking a tightrope over a deep canyon, from the childhood cliff on one side to the adulthood cliff on the other side, with adolescence stretched between them. We have to trust that all the advice and comfort we’ve given them for more than a decade will help guide them to the right choices.

The phrase ‘little kids, little problems; big kids, big problems’ helps us put things in perspective when children are young and prepare us for the storm of parenting teenagers as they get older.

It’s hard enough to deal with all of the drama of raising teens, but on top of that the mom of three teens in this story had to confront the trauma of losing her husband. As new single mom, she craved the warmth of family more than ever. But when her son was heading to high school and grew distant, she struggled to find a new normal for her and her children.
