different planets and just couldn't speak each other's
language.

ring just for that.

Listen in as she talks about it.

Action Tip For The Episode:
Deborah Ann Davis says "Plan a time for a specific activity for
just you and one daughter (make something together, polish your
toenails, wash the car, etc.), and while you are casually occupied
(and building a fond memory), bring up ONE touchy subject (new
consequences for household rules, curfew, chores, screen time,
dating), but discuss it in an indirect manner.
