As a parent, it's tough when your teen pushes back with disrespect. You might feel like you're walking a tightrope between being their guide and respecting their emotions. But here's the thing: your teen can be angry, they can disagree, but disrespect? That's where we draw the line. 🚫 It's not about being a friend to your teen; it's about being their anchor. You can have amazing conversations and share laughs, but remember, you're the parent. And that's a role to be proud of. So, if you're navigating these tricky waters and need some guidance on setting boundaries with love and respect, this video is for you. Let's transform the way we handle disrespect and build stronger, healthier relationships with our teens.

Together, we can make respect a two-way street. 💕 #mommingishard #mommingsohard #parentingadvice #parentingishard #parentingteens #raisingteens #empoweringparents #parentsofteens #parentingteenagers #parentingteens

Parents of tweens and teens - are you trying to raise a good human who understands right from wrong and is respectful of others? But your consequences to keep them inside those lines aren’t changing their behaviour and maybe creating more defiance? It’s because consequences are of ten used to reinforce control or create greater compliance, but that’s not how their brain learns. When you understand the exact words to communicate with your teen’s brain that connect, you’ll see tangible correction without the need for so many consequences. I’ll be walking you through it this week in my 5 Day Challenge, but registration closes April 29th at noon pacific time!

ATTN: Cycle breakers - ever wonder why 'different' parenting isn't working? Because despite your best intentions, without a clear road map and proven strategies, your brain hears 'different' but actually does 'opposite' 🤯 That's why when you resolved to steer clear of harsh consequences, punishments and yelling to gain control you ended up with more back talk, entitlement, nagging and reminding which don't work, or feel good either! Breaking the cycle IS possible, but not by doing a parenting 180. There IS a middle ground I know you set out to create that's backed by decades of research, but getting there feels frustrating without clear directions. That's why I created my FREE masterclass that breaks it all down into actionable steps you can take now, plus I'm sharing my proven framework used in all my programs.

"Taking my teen's phone or gaming is the only way to get them to take me seriously, do what I ask or change their behaviour." I hear you, and you're frustrated and feeling disrespected, maybe at your wits end. So you use what you know and likely learned from your parents, thinking those are healthy boundaries, yet you get more defiance and no lasting change, not respect. What if taking your teen's phone/tech to get them to do what you asked is teaching them to take something important to their partner or future kids to get what they want? There is another way. Join me for my Challenge - 5 Days to a Better Relationship with Your Teen and I'll give you step-by-step instructions and scripts to set healthy boundaries that increase respect so you don't need as many consequences.
