"Teenage years aren’t a phase to survive. They’re a transformation to respect.
They’re messy, magical, and maddening, for everyone involved. But underneath the eye rolls, the slammed doors, and the midnight mood swings, there’s a human trying to grow into someone real. And someone who still needs connection, even if they act allergic to it. So, whether you’re parenting one or are one:
Lead with empathy. Stand firm in love. And give grace for the learning curve. No one gets it perfect. But the effort? That’s what builds the bridge."
