The “Shut Up” Challenge
This Friday night, at the dinner table, don’t miss an important lecture from mom and dad on your latest big mistake!
If you invited your teen to attend a lecture every time she did something wrong, do you think she’d ever show up? Yeah right!
Parents tend to function in non-stop correction mode. But there’s nothing more destructive to your relationship with your teen than constant lecturing, nagging, and soap-boxing. So today, I urge you to take the “Shut Up” Challenge.
Now, at the risk of sounding rude, parents need to know that they can still teach vital lessons, without saying a single word.
So take a step back. Give your child some space. Watch how the “Shut Up” Challenge can help your teen to Grow Up!
