December 21, 2025•1 min read

Do you feel like your sweet child has suddenly turned into a stranger? If your teenager is pushing you away, you aren't alone. In this insightful interview, I sat down with MomBoss Academy alumni. Sze Yin Voon, a certified parent coach and founder of Graceful Parenting, to discuss how to rebuild a strong connection with your adolescent.

Sze Yin shares her own "painful journey" of transforming her relationship with her son—moving from feeling like "enemies" to finding a beautiful hope on the other side.

Whether you are dealing with a rebellious teen or just want to strengthen your bond before the difficult years hit, this video offers practical wisdom on why teenagers "tick us off" (hint: they’re actually craving connection!) and how you can proactively fill their "love bank."
