Here’s how to help your teenager
If you’re worried about your child and what you’ve tried isn’t working, this is why.
You’re focused on what they’re doing that’s scary, frustrating, or worrisome.
And you want it to stop.
Their grades are plummeting.
They’re lying to you.
They have no friends.
So naturally, the conversation you’re having is about stopping their behavior.
But that is not the underlying problem.
The underlying problem is what’s happening before they make a poor choice.
What do I mean by that?
If your child thinks I’m not smart enough, they’ll stop trying in class because they feel dumb.
If they think I shouldn’t have done that, they’ll lie to you because they feel ashamed.
If they think no one likes me, they’ll withdraw to their room because they feel rejected.
So what’s the solution?
Stop talking about their behavior that’s pissing you off or worrying you.
Instead, change the conversation to uncover what’s happening inside them.
When you want to help your child, address their thoughts and feelings.
That’s the magic sauce.
No one ever taught us how to do this.
But I can help you.
When you work with me, I’ll teach you my 5-step framework, so you know exactly how to help your child.
How would that feel?
