In this episode, I sat down with Amna Ishtiaq, a seasoned counsellor with over 8 years of experience working with students and parents across Punjab. Amna shares her insights on the unique challenges faced by adolescent girls today and discusses the importance of emotional intelligence in fostering better relationships between parents and their children. With her extensive background in counselling, she provides valuable advice on how parents can identify toxic patterns, connect more deeply with their teens, and support their emotional well-being.

Watch this to understand the adolescent experience and discover practical strategies for improving parent-child relationships.
