Clearly communicating with our teenagers can feel like tip-toeing through a minefield as parents. We feel like bad parents with teens who don't want to talk to them. Let's discuss some practical skills for taking a step back from the emotional fragility of hormones and erratic reactions, accessing a new perspective, and delivering a different kind of dialogue approach to reach your teen. Knowing how to talk to your teen doesn't come automatically. There will be good days and hard days, but no matter what, we can stay open to growing as parents and fostering a message of acceptance and compassion that impacts our teens, not just with words, but tone, energy and connection. Listen in and learn how to be a parent your teen feels comfortable talking to.
In this episode we will answer questions like:
"What do teens really need from their parents?"
"If I want to be a good parent, what do I focus on with my teen?"
"What is my main goal as a parent?"
"How can I parent consciously?"
"I feel like a bad parent, what can I do to stop being so reactive?"
