Life with your teen can be better.

You know when your teen is rude, lies, vapes (or insert the behavior that you don’t like)?

And you get frustrated, worried, or angry and decide it’s the perfect time to talk to them?

News flash: it’s not!

How about when you tell your teen what they should do and offer your advice?

And they slam the door, pay you lip service, and nothing changes.

That’s infuriating!

How about when you hammer them with, “Why did you do that?”

And you get the shrug followed by, “I don’t know!”

That doesn’t work!

How about when the experts tell you to let your kid fail?

That’s scary!

Listen. There are better parenting approaches. 

When you want a productive conversation with your teen, be calm and stop wondering, What is wrong with my teen?

When you want to motivate them to change their behavior, turn the conversation around and get curious.

When you want to know why they did something, first be understanding and compassionate because they think their life is hard.

When you want your teen to figure things out, collaborate so they feel empowered, and you feel comfortable.

When you use these approaches, this is what happens:

Imagine your teen lies (or insert whatever is driving you up the wall), but now you have the tools to get them to listen, open up, and share what’s happening.

You avoid any argument and instead have a calm conversation, so you know what to do to feel close again.

What impact would that have on your life?

Clients tell me they feel less worried, less annoyed, and less angry.

Instead, they are hopeful, empowered, and trust that their teen will be okay. 

Does this sound like what you are looking for?
