Hi Parents!

When your teen feels like they have no friends, it can be heartbreaking to watch and even harder to know how to help. In this episode, I sit down with Sheri Gazitt, friendship expert and founder of Teen Wise, to talk about how parents can support their teen through loneliness without adding pressure or making the situation worse.

We explore the important difference between being alone and feeling lonely, and how loneliness can begin to shape your teen’s thoughts, confidence, and self-perception. Sheri shares why trying to fix the problem quickly or pushing friendships too soon can backfire, and what it looks like to take a more supportive, skill-building approach instead.

We also talk about small, realistic steps teens can take to begin building connections, even when they feel unsure or hesitant, and how parents can guide them without taking over.

If you’ve been worried about your teen’s social life or wondering how to help when they feel left out or disconnected, this episode will give you practical tools and a new perspective on how to support them.
