Feeding The Mouth That Bites You: Parenting Teens Into Adulthood

Episode 206: Anger and Yelling Make You Weaker as a Parent


Listen Later

Today we continue with our series on effective limit-setting with adolescents. Some parents think when they lose their temper with teenagers they "hate to do it" but it "needed to happen." Jessica and Dr. Ken talk about how yelling only confirms a teenager's suspicion in the first place... that you're a bully not really a parent. Instead we talk about ways to avoid losing your temper and what to do if you still occasionally get pretty angry with your teenager.
