What if your teen isn’t the problem?
Most parenting advice tells you to fix their behavior.
Get them to listen. Change their attitude.
But what if that’s exactly why it’s not working?
In this episode, I sit down with Randon Young, author of Foundations for Business Relationships, to unpack simple but powerful relationship principles that weren’t written for parents… but might be exactly what you need.
We talk about:
 • Why focusing on your teen often creates more disconnection
 • How trying to “fix” them increases pressure and resistance
 • What actually builds trust and connection
 • A simple shift you can start using immediately
If you feel like you’re trying everything and it’s still not working… this episode will challenge how you think about parenting—and show you a better way forward.

You said “I’m sorry”…
 But your teen is still upset.
Now what?
Most parents think an apology should fix things.
 But with teens, it often doesn’t—and that’s where the frustration starts.
In this episode, I’ll show you why your apology didn’t land…
 and what your teen actually needs from you instead.
You’ll learn:
 Why “I’m sorry” alone often falls flat 
 The common mistake parents make after apologizing 
 How to rebuild trust without overexplaining or chasing your teen 
 What it looks like to lead with connection instead of control 
If you’ve ever tried to make things right with your teen and felt like nothing changed… this episode will help.

Does it feel like your teen is pulling away from you?
Most parents respond by trying to control things. They give more advice, fix problems, and try to guide every decision.
But control often pushes teens farther away.
In this episode of IMPACT! Parenting with Perspective, Ben and Cortni share two powerful parenting ideas: The Pool Edge and The Steering Wheel.
You’ll learn why letting go of control can actually strengthen your relationship with your teen—and how to become the safe place your teen will always come back to.
