Understanding Your Teenager's Behaviour

When our teens are not doing what we want, it can feel so painful. As a mom, I have done my share of yelling at my kids in an attempt to get them to do what I think is best, but is yelling not effective. Maybe in the short term, it creates some desired changes but over the long term, it can leave our teens more frustrated, more destructive, and damage our relationships with them.

What can we do instead? This episode offers parents ways to perceive their teen's challenging behaviours, strategies for more effective communication as well as an invitation to address their own emotions when parents feel triggered by their teens.
