Hi Friend!

Do you ever feel like your preteen is pulling away — eye rolls, closed doors, one-word answers? You want to connect, but everything feels like a power struggle.

In this episode of Confidence in Motherhood, I’m sharing 3 simple, faith-based strategies to rebuild trust and strengthen your bond with your preteen — so you can restore peace, communication, and connection in your home.

You’ll learn how to: ✨ Be fully present in daily moments (even when life feels busy) ✨ Create small rituals that help your kid feel safe, seen, and valued ✨ Renew your mindset so you respond with calm instead of frustration

Connection doesn’t have to be complicated. One intentional action can shift the atmosphere in your home this week. It’s time to rebuild trust and enjoy motherhood again.

I pray this blesses you! 💛
