"Send Ben a text"

Do you ever find yourself reacting just like your teen?

They get angry… and you get angry.
 They panic… and you panic.
 They shut down… and you shut down.

Most parents don’t mean to do this. But when we mirror our teen’s bad behavior, we actually make things worse.

In this episode, I talk about the difference between mirroring and modeling.

You’ll learn:

• Why awareness is so powerful
• How to catch yourself in the moment
• How to stay calm when your teen isn’t
• 3 simple steps to model the behavior you want to see

You can’t control your teen.
 But you can control how you show up.

And when you change, your home starts to change too.
