Title: A Look at Teen Behaviors: Conflict
Today's episode is part 3 of our 3-part series looking at some common teen behaviors that you may be witnessing in your child and diving a little into why it happens, what about it creates challenges for us, and what we can do in response.
Understanding that conflict is less about an entitled teenager or a controlling mom and more about normal friction created by two individuals who want control (whether that control comes from a place of desiring freedom or protection) helps put it into proper perspective.
This episode’s takeaways:
- The conflict we experience with our child is not only normal developmentally, and it can actually benefit your relationship.
- Through conflict, we have an opportunity to model healthy conflict resolution. A lifelong skill.
- Conflict teaches us flexibility and how to listen.
- There are two things I can do that will, 97% of the time, change the trajectory of my path with my child when we are engaged in conflict:
- Disengage to regulate my emotions
- Start digging up roots
- Learning and modeling healthy conflict resolution takes practice, practice, practice.
- Remember that these moments of conflict are actually key to the long-term health of the parent-child relationship, because it’s in these moments that the relationship gets reshaped to include more reciprocity and equality between the parties.
