#155-Does Your Teen Want a Different Holiday Plan? How To Enjoy the Holidays With Your Teen by Shifting Expectation Patterns:(Moms, Teens, Communication)
Are the holidays starting to feel more like a negotiation with your teenager than the cozy family season you always imagined?
This episode breaks down why holiday plans suddenly feel emotional, tense, or even hurtful when your teen wants more independence—and how to navigate these changes without slipping into resentment, guilt, or full-blown conflict. If you want holiday connection instead of holiday power struggles, this conversation is exactly what you need.
Listeners will learn:
- How to understand the real reasons behind your teen’s shifting holiday preferences without taking them personally.
- Communication strategies that create win-win holiday plans and help your teen feel heard while still honouring family values.
- Self-coaching questions that help you stay grounded, manage your emotions, and avoid reacting from hurt or disappointment.
Press play and learn how to create a calmer, more connected holiday season with your teen—without sacrificing your needs or their growing independence.
