Episode 13: CASE STUDY- The Battle over Summer Chores
Did you ever ready Choose-Your-Own_Adventure books as a kid? I loved those books!
And these CASE STUDY episodes are set up much the same way: I present a scenario that has come up in a recent parent session or teen session, and we will walk through 3 different options for how it might play out.
This week's scenario is about Teens and Summer Chores. How do we help our teen's learn that they need to contribute around the house and they need to do what's been asked in the timeframe that we expect?
More importantly, how can we do that WITHOUT nagging, arguing or exploding into a full-on-battle every single time.
On this week's episode we'll explore 3 different options for responding to requests that go ignored. You'll learn strategies to avoid:
If you want your teen to be more responsible about doing what you've asked them to do around the house -- and you are committed to doing it WITHOUT the "because-I-said-so" tactics of obedience, compliance and punishment -- then this episode is for you!
Have you ever heard of COMMUNICATION STYLES? Are you curious to know more about what your style of communication is and how it might be affecting your relationship with your teen? Head over to my COMMUNICATION STYLES QUIZ and answer a few short questions to get your results!
