Keeping it real with Oyin - KIRO

18/06/2026

Do you ever miss your teenager... even though they live in the same house?

The child who used to tell you everything now barely says more than “fine.”

The distance can be heartbreaking. You want to connect, but it often feels like you’re speaking different languages.

This evening, I’ll be joined by my coach and Human Behaviour Specialist, Karen Wagnon Karen Colleluori Wagnon-Personality-Based Parenting , as we discuss The Connection Crisis and why so many parents feel disconnected from their teens.

We’ll explore:

✨ Why connection feels harder than ever
✨ What’s really happening beneath the silence
✨ How to rebuild trust and strengthen your relationship

Because the relationship you want with your teen may be closer than you think.

The Connection Crisis: Why Teens Pull Away

“They used to tell me everything.”

If you’ve ever found yourself saying that, you’re not alone.

In this episode of Keeping It Real with Oyin, I’m talking about why teenagers seem to pull away from their parents and what we can do to keep the lines of communication open.

Because beneath the silence, the eye-rolls, and the closed doors, many teens are still longing for connection.

The question is: do they feel safe enough to find it at home?

Did Michael Jackson have a childhood?

It's a question I found myself asking after watching a recent documentary.

His story raises an important parenting dilemma: How do we encourage our children to achieve great things without making achievement the measure of their worth?

In my latest blog, I explore the balance between success, wellbeing, and raising children who know they are valued for who they are—not just what they accomplish.

Michael Jackson's story raises an important parenting question: can children pursue greatness without sacrificing childhood and sense of self?

06/06/2026

Michael Jackson’s life got me thinking...

We celebrate greatness.

The trophies.
The records.
The standing ovations.

But greatness often comes with a hidden cost.

Michael became one of the most successful entertainers in history.
Yet much of his adult life seemed marked by a longing for the childhood he never had.

It raises an important question for parents:
Are we raising successful children...
Or healthy adults?

Achievement matters.
Excellence matters.

But our children need to know they are loved for who they are, not just for what they do.

Because the goal isn’t to choose between happiness and success.

It’s to help our children achieve without losing themselves in the process.
Think about it.
