Does talking to your teen feel like talking to a wall? Teens are going through huge physical and emotional changes while figuring out who they are, and that can make it hard for them to open up, even about things that matter. In this episode of Parenting Teens with Dr. Cam, I'm joined by Ruth Klein, author of Conscious Connection and founder of the nonprofit Universal Mom. Ruth shares strategies for breaking through communication breakdowns and building trust so your teen feels safe opening up.

What you'll learn: 1. Why communication breaks down during the teen years 2. How to create conversations your teen wants to have 3. How to reconnect when your teen has shut you out Connect with Ruth Klein: Website: https://universalmom.org/about-universal-mom/
