Your Child Doesn’t Have to Be ‘Fine,’ They Just Need to Be Heard
Every teen says, “I’m fine.” But often, they’re not. It’s a shield. When they don’t feel safe to talk, they shut down—and suffer in silence. Real listening isn’t fixing, it’s hearing. And sometimes, the right support isn’t a parent—it’s a mentor. One calm, trusted adult can make all the difference. Don’t wait for a crisis. Start listening now.
If Your Teen Isn’t Talking to You, Who Are They Turning To?
If your teen isn’t talking to you, they’re talking to someone. The question is, do they trust you with the hard stuff? Trust is built in how we respond. When they open up, don’t fix. Just listen. Be the safe place they come back to. Because when they share, they’re not giving you information, they’re giving you their trust.
