Do these parenting concerns sound familiar?
Whenever I’m on a consultation call, I ask what motivated the mom or dad to reach out.
Do these concerns sound familiar?
“She never listens to my advice.”
Teenagers want to figure things out themselves. I’ll teach you a side-door approach to share your wisdom and help her develop problem-solving skills.
“I don’t like how he talks to me and rolls his eyes.”
First, I’ll teach you how to uncover why he’s being disrespectful. And then you’ll learn how to set and maintain boundaries to build trust and respect.
“She thinks everything I say is criticism.”
When she thinks you’re disappointed, she’ll say you’re yelling at her, or she can’t do anything right. I’ll teach you how to end this tension.
“I don’t want his report card to ruin my day.”
Worrying when we see our kids not doing their best is natural. I’ll help you learn how to stop the doomsday thinking and trust that he’ll be okay.
“I don’t want to feel sad, hurt, and worried anymore.”
You don’t have to. Managing how we feel is entirely in our control, and my Feelings Scale tool will help you learn how to allow the emotion to flow through you like a wave.
“I want her to like me again.”
Of course, you do. You’re her mom, you love her, and you want to be her go-to person. I’ll help you create a space where she wants to share with you.
“I’m worried it’s too late.”
When you want to be a part of the rest of your child’s life, it’s never too late to try a different approach. I learned the strategies I teach when my kids were 19, 17, and 14.
“I feel guilty for not fixing this sooner.”
Nooooo! We’re always doing the best we can. You’re here, which tells me you want to learn and improve. And there are solutions to fix what is happening in your home.
I know asking for help is hard.
But relief is on the other side.
