How to Connect With a Child Who's Nothing Like You

You can be wildly different from your child and still find ways to be close with them.

In this 2-minute episode of Everyday Parenting, Dr. Todd shares the story of a dad and his son who seemed to have nothing in common—and what helped them finally connect. If your child feels like a mystery to you, this one’s for you.

You’ll learn:
• Why connection isn’t about shared interests
• How to join your child in their world—even if it’s unfamiliar
• A small shift that can lead to deeper trust and closeness

Everyday Parenting is a weekly series of real-world parenting tips (2 minutes or less) that help you stay connected, calm, and confident at home.
