About this episode
While it may initially seem like the more peaceful path, avoiding conflict with your teenager only leads to greater relational damage in the long run. In today’s episode, Mark Gregston and Wayne Shepherd explore how sidestepping conflict can harm the parent-teen dynamic by heightening tension and stress, creating emotional distance and limiting the depth of the relationship. They provide practical guidance for parents who are ready to face conflict head-on, emphasizing the importance of scheduling dedicated discussions and modeling healthy conflict resolution.
