How to Build Closeness with Your Kids

A thirteen year old Laney and her mom Julie are here to talk about how they transformed their relationship. They went from fighting daily into a more peaceful, positive and connected place. Julie is an active member of the Authentic Parenting community and has appeared on the podcast before. 

Julie has made some big strides and major shifts in her parenting. She has been consistently learning and growing. It's pretty amazing how far she has come. Turns out her daughter wanted to come to the podcast and share about their struggles and challenges and transformation. 

In this episode we talked about: 

• How she navigates puberty, middle school and social media
• What was it like to be diagnosed with ADHD in the pandemic
• How she monitors her own screen time after having had a dependent relationship with it
• The tools she discovered that help her with her anxiety and emotion regulation
• And finally her sound, down to earth advice to parents everywhere
