Connect With Your Teens | Conversation Starters, Parenting Tips, Screen Time, Build Connection, Communication Skills

Ever feel stuck in a cycle where both of you keep blaming, defending, and waiting for the other person to go first? In this short episode, we talk about what it looks like to step off the merry-go-round of conflict—not because you’re wrong, but because you’re ready.

I share a story of a mom who chose connection over correction in her marriage—and how that shift led to a completely different kind of conversation. When you know who you are in Christ, you don’t have to keep fighting to be heard. You can choose peace—even when it’s hard—and trust God with the rest.

✔️ Thought reversal for today:

“I don’t need them to agree for me to walk in peace.”

“I don’t need to be right to bring God’s presence into the room.”

“I can go first—and trust God with the rest.”

God's got you and you've got this!

I hope this blesses you!
