Feeding The Mouth That Bites You: Parenting Teens Into Adulthood

Episode 204: Limit-Setting with Adolescents - You're Not a Cop, You're a Judge


Listen Later

Today is the first in a series on limit-setting with adolescents. Probably the most important change a parent can make in being more effective in setting limits with teenagers is to shift your job description from a "cop" to a judge. Understanding what you as a parent can and cannot control makes a huge difference in how and when you set limits for your teen. When your teen is being most defiant, always remember the power of "the smile."
