Quotes:

"When children push against limits, they're asking for connection and reassurance that we're still there for them, even as they try to push us away." - Dr. Laura Markham

"The more you try to control, the more you show your fear; the more you show your fear, the more your child knows how to control you." - Dr. Shefali Tsabary

"The more inflexible you are as a parent, the more oppositional your child is likely to become." - Dr. Ross Greene

Actionable Tips:

Practice active listening: Take the time to listen to your teen's perspective without judgment or interruption.

Set aside dedicated one-on-one time: Regularly schedule quality time with your teen to strengthen your connection outside of conflict.

Model healthy conflict resolution: Demonstrate respectful communication and problem-solving skills in your interactions with your teen.

Be consistent with consequences: Follow through on established boundaries and consequences consistently to maintain trust and credibility.

Normalize the human experience, recognize that we all have weaknesses (own them), and then have self-compassion for these challenges. Being a parent is hard work!

Point out the good!’
