In this episode, we'll have a conversation about navigating the intricate dynamics of the parent-teen relationship in the age of social media poses unique challenges. Teens, exposed to diverse voices beyond their family circle, often perceive parental wisdom as out of touch. We'll explore the reasons behind teenage rebellion, emphasizing biological, psychological, and social factors. With insights into the didactic approach's impact on teens' receptiveness to parental advice, we'll talk about the influence of social media. We'll highlight the role of curated online lives in shaping teens' perceptions and offer practical advice on bridging the gap between virtual and familial worlds. We'll discuss the six key reasons for rebellion, including the quest for independence and external societal influences, as essential for parents navigating this developmental phase.
