50 | When Your Teen Son Starts Pulling Away Before College | Christian Parenting

What if this is actually a normal part of preparing to leave home?

In this episode, we talk about a concept called dirtying the nest—why some teen and young adult sons create emotional distance before a major transition, what it does (and doesn't) say about your relationship, and how you can respond with grace, healthy boundaries, and encouragement.

If you're a Christian mom raising a high school senior, a college-bound son, or a young adult preparing to move out, this episode will remind you that this season is not a sign you've failed. It's often one more step in preparing your son for adulthood.

At Raising Boys with Purpose™, we're here to encourage Christian moms as they raise sons with faith, character, responsibility, and independence—preparing them for adulthood one step at a time.
