IMPACT: Parenting with Perspective

"Send Ben a text"In this episode, we talk about a tough problem many parents face: when a teen refuses to go to school. We look at a question from a mom in a parenting Facebook group. She shares her struggle with her 15-year-old son, who won't go to school and gets angry when she takes away his phone.As parents, it's easy to feel like we can't do anything in these situations. But the key is to focus on what we can control, not on trying to change our teens. We talk about using a "T-Chart of Control" to figure out what we can and can't control as parents.We also talk about why grounding teens can sometimes make things worse. Instead, we suggest having honest talks with your teen to build better rules together.If you're having a hard time with a teen who won't listen, this episode will give you some helpful tools and a new way to think about these challenges. Remember, you're not the only one going through this, and there is hope for a better relationship with your teen.Want a Simple Step by Step Parenting Debrief Guide?
