Do you and your teen keep having the same fight over and over again?

Maybe it’s about chores, screen time, sleep, attitude, or video games. And with summer coming, you may already feel stressed about what’s ahead.

In this episode, Ben explains why summer often makes these fights worse. But here’s the good news: summer is not the real problem. Your teen is not the problem. And you are not the problem.

The real problem is the pattern that keeps playing out in your home.

You’ll learn why your teen may keep pushing things off, why nagging does not work, and why more rules usually do not fix the issue. You’ll also learn how to start seeing the pattern so you can begin changing it.

If you want less yelling, less nagging, and fewer daily battles this summer, this episode will help you take the first step.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  •  Why summer can make teen conflict worse 
  •  Why chores, screens, and sleep turn into daily fights 
  •  Why your teen may keep avoiding responsibility 
  •  Why more rules are not always the answer 
  •  How to spot the pattern behind the fight 
  •  Why changing the pattern starts with you 

The same fight does not have to keep happening all summer. A better pattern is possible.
