My Teenage son and i Keep Arguing Over Small Things, and i Feel Like We’re Growing Apart. how can i Rebuild our Connection?

Dear parent, I hear the love and concern in your words. It’s completely normal to experience tension during the teenage years – this doesn’t mean you’ve failed as a parent. Start by creating small moments of connection: maybe share a favorite snack together or ask about his interests without judgment. Remember, beneath the arguments, your son still needs your love and guidance. Healing takes time, but every effort you make plants seeds for a stronger relationship. You’re doing better than you think.
