How do I get past my preteen’s eye rolls?

June 06, 2021 • Saleema • Season 1 • Episode 3

Sexual health and empowerment educators Saleema Noon and Julie Prodor tackle a million dollar preteen parenting question: How can I get past my preteen’s eye rolls when I try to start a conversation with them? Parents tell us all the time that they agonize over how to bring up a topic, they muster up the courage to start a conversation and two sentences in they’re met with, “I know, Mom!” and eye rolls. How can they get past this? Are there certain questions that could shut down the conversation? And how should parents phrase the questions they ask? What if they just walk away, refuse to engage? Tune into Growing Up Game Plan: The Podcast to get answers to these questions and more.
