What Teens Wish Parents Knew: Trust, Communication & Confidence

Parenting shouldn’t be a constant power struggle. Sonia Suthar, a 19-year-old speaker, educator, and college student, sits down with Bryce Hamilton, LSCSW, on today’s episode of Accidental Experts to discuss what parenting looks like from a teen’s perspective, not as a teen parent, but as the teenage child of parents. Sonia shares tips on what she believes parents in today’s society are doing well (loving their children) and maybe not so well (listening to and trusting kids' insight, and asking the RIGHT questions). This conversation is SO important in helping parents understand their kids a little better. Sonia shares her insight from her perspective as a teenager, and she also cites research on what teens actually need (and want) in a parent/teen relationship. Listen to Bryce and Sonia as they discuss supporting and guiding teens through a healthy, productive parenting model. Teamwork, compromise, and truly listening to each other will get you on the right track to successfully parenting teens and having reciprocal trust. Sonia is a 19-year-old founder of Cloud 9 and an educator dedicated to helping teens develop leadership, emotional intelligence, and entrepreneurial life skills. Through workshops and speaking engagements, she supports adolescents and parents in building confidence, communication, and real-world readiness while strengthening connection at home. 🔹 Sonia’s social links: @cloud9go - instagram   / soniakatara     / cloudninenow2023      • I’m Fine: The Lie Every Teen Tells You | S...   🔹 Book mentioned by Bryce: The Next Conversation: Argue Less, Talk More by Jefferson Fisher Follow Accidental Experts on: 🔹Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?... 🔹 Instagram: @accidental_expert_family 🔹 YouTube: @AccidentalExpertsFamily 🔹 Tiktok: @Accidental_experts. 🔹 LinkedIn:   / bryce-hamilton-lscsw-b6770057   🔹Email us: accidentalexperts@gmail.com 👉 Subscribe to the Accidental Experts audio podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... 👉 Visit the Accidental Experts home page at Webtalkradio.com: https://webtalkradio.net/internet-tal... #modernparenting #parentingteens #opencommunication #parentteenrelationship #parentingpodcast #accidentalexpertspodcast #accidentalexpertsfamily #accidentalexperts #teenageperspective #teenagers #teenpressures #accidentalexperts
