If you take your teen’s phone to get them to do what you asked, keep reading ⬇️ I get how frustrating and annoying it feels to ask your teen to do the simplest thing and feel ignored or brushed off. Or, they do something WAY beyond your clearly stated values and boundaries and to emphasize your point, you take their phone. Here’s why this doesn’t work to create long term behaviour change and instead keeps you in an exhausting cycle of taking your teen’s phone with only short term results... Taking their phone isn’t a consequence, it’s coercion (definition in the video) and that’s a form of punishment. Even though that’s what you and I grew up with, it’s an unhealthy emotional and relational tool that reinforces control and power and increases disrespect, defiance and disconnection. Consequences create long term change when you know the researched based secrets to connect before you correct.
