In this episode of Kasey's Korner, I chatted with Kristen Duke, a mentor for parents of teenagers. She helps them to see that they can control their emotions and have fantastic relationships with their teenagers if they're willing to recognize the personal blind spots we might have.
The episode is about the importance of confidence in teenagers. Kristen Duke learned this first hand by talking to her kids and other parents. Duke says that parents need to learn to control their emotions and not take their frustrations out on their kids. Kristen also says that it's important for parents to listen to their kids and give them the space to share their thoughts and feelings.
"You can't control your teen, but you can control yourself."
In this episode, you will learn the following:
1. The importance of controlling one's emotions when parenting a teenager
2. The need to change the negative narrative around teenagers
3. The idea that teenagers are going through a second "toddler phase"
