When your teen pulls away, it’s easy to think they don’t care. But behind the slammed doors, long sighs, and endless scrolling is a child who’s just trying to survive their own feelings. 💔
Their brain is still growing.
Their emotions feel bigger than they can hold.
And when they yell, shut down, or go quiet it’s not disrespect, it’s overwhelm.
What they’re really saying is:
“Don’t give up on me.”
“I’m not giving you a hard time… I’m having a hard time.”
Your steady presence matters more than any perfect words. 🤍
