A lot of parents think their kids are pushing them away.
Rabbi Yossi Bensoussan thinks many kids are actually asking a different question:
“Will you still love me when I disappoint you?”
Drawing from years of crisis intervention and working with struggling teens and families, Rabbi Bensoussan goes Behind the Bima for a deeply practical conversation about parenting, shame, emotional safety, vulnerability, expectations, masculinity, and the hidden fear driving many teenagers today.
This episode is about what children are really testing when they act out, shut down, rebel, or withdraw.
