Why do parents react so emotionally when teens make mistakes? How do we balance authority with empathy without robbing kids of their self-worth?

In this episode of the Turning Winds Podcast, host Kevin Zundl talks with Carl Baisden about what really happens in the heat of parenting challenges. From late-night gaming arguments to school stress and emotional shutdowns, they explore how these moments often reveal deeper emotional patterns and unmet needs.

Through stories from the field and grounded clinical insight, they dive into:

* Why failure is essential to growth for both teens and parents
* How to use structure in a way that avoids shame
* What identity clashes look like between parents and teens
* Why letting kids face natural consequences builds long-term resilience
* How to reconnect after conflict and encourage agency and trust
* Whether you're supporting a teen in treatment or just trying to get through the week, this episode offers practical tools and fresh perspective on how connection can shift everything.
