Summer break promises family memories but often delivers chaos, empty refrigerators and endless screen time battles. With teenage boys shutting off their executive functioning and living purely from their primitive brains (seeking pleasure, avoiding pain, staying efficient), it's no wonder we feel overwhelmed! Understanding what's happening in your son's brain will help you navigate this season with more patience and connection.
Todays episode gives practical strategies that will help you:
- Manage your expectations (without lowering your standards)
- Create a collaborative outline your son will actually buy into
- Find the balance between structure and flexibility
- Transform from survival mode to connection mode
- Teach your son essential life skills while building his confidence
