'Set firmer boundaries.' 'Stop being so strict.' 'Medicate.' 'Don't medicate.' 'Do therapy.' 'Therapy is a waste.' 'They'll grow out of it.' Each person's certain they know the right answer. I know my kid.

Too many voices, zero true understanding.

Whose advice actually resonates? How do you filter?

Your teen telling you the truth about how they feel means you're a safe place. That's the foundation everything else builds on.
