one simple way to connect with your teen this holiday season

The holiday season can feel like a whirlwind, but it’s also the perfect time to connect with your teens—without overcomplicating things. If there’s one thing you can do to strengthen your bond this season, it’s this: spend intentional, one-on-one time together.

It doesn’t have to be anything elaborate. A late-night drive to see holiday lights, baking cookies, or even a cozy chat over hot chocolate can create meaningful moments. What matters most is showing your teens that you’re fully present and value time with them.

For me, I’ve learned that each of my three teens connects in their own way. One might love chatting during a walk, while another prefers a movie night on the couch, and the third lights up at the idea of baking something together. The common thread?

Being present and sharing moments that let them know they’re seen, heard, and loved.

So this holiday season, step away from the chaos and find one small way to share quality time with your teen. It’s a simple gift that will leave a lasting impression.

How will you spend time with your teens this season?
