Description:
Remember when summer felt easy? When a trip to the beach, a sticky ice cream cone, or a backyard sprinkler could make your kid’s whole day?
Yeah. That changes.
In this episode of the Peaceful Home Podcast, we’re getting honest about the heartbreak and whiplash of parenting tweens and teens through summer. You’ll hear stories that will make you nod (and maybe cry), a breakdown of what’s really going on in your child’s brain and body, and why their pulling away isn’t a rejection—it’s part of their growth.
If your kid suddenly wants nothing to do with your plans… if you’re grieving the summers you thought you’d have… or if you feel like you’re quietly disappearing while still holding everything together—this episode is for you.
We talk about:
- Why your tween suddenly doesn’t want to do any of the fun stuff you planned
- What brain science tells us about this awkward, tender season
- The grief of still doing everything and feeling invisible
- Why this stage feels so personal (even though it’s not)
- How to shift the pressure and reimagine connection
This episode is permission to stop chasing perfect summers—and start honoring the real one you’re in.
Because your child is still becoming.
And so are you.
