Confused by Your Teenager?

One minute they’re telling you everything, and the next you get, “Nevermind.” You ask a simple question and suddenly they’re defensive, annoyed, or shutting down, and you’re left wondering, "What just happened?"

Teenagers can be confusing, especially when you’re interpreting their behavior through an adult lens. This free guide will help you look underneath 5 common teen behaviors and consider what might actually be happening. You’ll learn why pulling away, getting defensive, saying “I don’t know,” or rejecting your advice may not mean what you think it means.

Because when you see the behavior with your teen differently, you can respond differently. And sometimes one small shift in how you see your teenager can completely change what happens next.
