Putting boundaries in place with toddlers can feel straightforward—but when our kids become teenagers, those boundaries start to shift, take on new forms, and become important for entirely different reasons. There’s a lot of fear wrapped up in parenting teens, so we brought in Dr. Jenny Hwang, a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience helping parents navigate connection, conflict, and everything in between—without fear, shame, or fluff. With a no-nonsense approach, Jenny challenges mainstream parenting advice and helps parents move through the emotional blind spots that often sabotage connection. Rooted in both clinical expertise and her own lived experience as a parent, she’s here to help us decode our teens’ behavior and build relationships based on trust, not control.
