Can I Tell You Something Without You Getting Mad?

If your kid keeps things from you, it might not be because they’re secretive. It might be because they already know how you’re going to react. What happens when your kid wants to tell you the truth, but they’re more afraid of your reaction than they are of the problem? In this episode, Johnny and I talk about what makes teenagers shut down, what parents may be doing without realizing it, and how both sides can have difficult conversations without turning them into fights. Because sometimes the conversation your kid is avoiding is the conversation they need you for the most. #Parenting #Teenagers #ParentingTeens #FrankieandJohnny #Communication
