🎙️ *Coffee Conversations | Teenager – Rebellion or Need for Understanding?* Does adolescence really have to mean constant conflict, slamming doors, and fighting over every decision? Or perhaps there are many myths surrounding teenagers that don't help either parents or children? In this episode, I speak with *Julita Torenc**, an educator, creator of the **Power of Emotions* project, and a mother of teenagers. This is a meeting between two mothers and two specialists who work with young people and their parents on a daily basis. We discuss, among other things: ✔️ why parents are so often afraid of adolescence, ✔️ what myths and stereotypes have arisen around teenagers and their rebellion, ✔️ what kind of parent a teenager really needs, ✔️ why relationships are more important than control, ✔️ why teenagers need boundaries and rules, ✔️ how to set boundaries respectfully and without unnecessary power struggles, ✔️ why an emotionally calm parent becomes a safe base for a child. In this conversation, we show that not every teenager has to rebel, and that many difficulties stem from a misunderstanding of the needs of adolescence. We also discuss that a parent doesn't have to be perfect – it's enough to be present, predictable, curious about their child's world, and willing to develop their own skills. Boundaries are not a punishment. They give teenagers a sense of security, help regulate impulsivity, teach responsibility, and demonstrate: *"You are important to me. I care about you."* If you are a parent of a teenager or are preparing for this stage – this episode is for you. 💛 Enjoy!
