"You don't understand me." Your teen says it, slams the door, and you're left wondering what just happened.

In this episode, Curtis and RJ unpack what that sentence really means (it's rarely what you think), why arguing back makes it worse, and the simple line that gets your teen talking again instead of shutting down. RJ shares a real moment with his son Josh that almost turned into a blowup — until one question changed everything.

If you're raising a teenager who's started shutting you out, this one's for you.
