You’re finally in bed, lights out, eyes closed… and that’s when your teen decides it’s time for deep emotional bonding. 😴
In this episode, we unpack why teens want to talk at midnight (hint: it’s part biology, part emotional timing), and how to handle it without losing your mind or your sleep. Learn how to set loving boundaries that keep the connection strong, what to say when you’re too tired to listen, and how to turn “Mom, can we talk?” into something that actually works for both of you.
