How to get cooperation without conflict.

Remember when parenting seemed to come naturally?

You could do no wrong in your kids’ eyes.

You easily solved problems as they arose.

Now, you’re parenting a teen, and everything is different.

You think, Where did my sweet child go?

They break the rules.

They sneak around and lie.

Their responses are mean and insulting.

You tell them, “Don’t do that,” or “No,” or “Stop that,” and they do it anyway.

You don’t want to raise a brat, but their entitled and disrespectful behavior leaves you frustrated, resentful, and angry, 

It doesn’t have to be that way.

The reason you’re stuck is that you are repeating a parenting pattern that you experienced in childhood.

And that pattern worked when your teen was younger.

You told them what to do, and they listened because they were more agreeable and relied on you to care for them.

But now, it’s time to shift your approach.

And here’s the solution:

Connection before Correction.

First, find out what’s going on inside of them.

Then, talk to them about those thoughts and feelings.

When you start with a connection, their behavior falls in line.

Imagine no need for punishment because you address the root cause of the problem.

I am a life coach for parents like you.

I have a 5-step process that creates connection and motivates them to take responsibility and make healthy choices.
