Is your teen pulling away—or are you holding on too tight? In this episode, we dive deep into the urge to micromanage our teens: where it comes from, how it impacts their confidence, and what you can do to shift into a more trusting, connected parenting space.
You’ll learn:
- The sneaky ways micromanagement shows up (even when you think you’re being “helpful”)
- When to loosen your grip—and why it matters
- A practical step-by-step process to shift from control to curiosity
- What to say (and not say) when you're tempted to take over
- How to reset if you've already gone too far down the micromanagement rabbit hole
If you’ve ever hovered over homework, double-checked every text, or felt panic when your teen doesn’t follow your plan—this one’s for you.
🎧 Tune in now and start building a home where trust and independence thrive.
