"Send Ben a text"

Do you want to know the biggest mistake parents of teens make? It might surprise you! Many parents think it's things like yelling at their teen, trying to control them, or being too friendly. But the biggest mistake is actually trying to change their teen instead of focusing on being the kind of parent they want to be.

In this podcast, we talk about how to be the parent of your dreams. First, you need to know what kind of parent you want to be. Then, you should do a daily check-in to see how you're doing. You can also practice being the parent you want to be using something called the "Wheel of Life." And remember, focus on what you can control, which is yourself, not your teen.

If you're tired of always yelling at your teen, figure out what kind of parent you want to be instead. Then start working on being that kind of parent. It won't be easy and it won't happen overnight, but with practice and awareness, you can be the parent of your dreams!
