Four Steps to Parent -Teen Conflict Resolution

INSTANT DOWNLOAD

Why does the parent-teen relationship feel like a beautifully mismanaged circus?

Simple. Your teen is trying to become independent, and you are trying to keep them

alive long enough to enjoy that independence. Their brain says, “I need freedom.” Your

brain says, “I saw you microwave a fork last week.” And there we have it: conflict.

I say this with love and a little wisdom earned the hard way, mostly through my bad decisions and the embarrassing consequences that followed. 

Let’s not underestimate our teens. They’re the ones we beg to fix our iPhones and handle anything tech-related because we can’t, all while they store a staggering amount of completely useless pop-culture trivia in their brains. They’re actually highly intelligent—when they feel like it

So, how do we manage this circus without burning down the tent? In corporate, we had synergy; here, we just pray they don't block us on social media. Since we can't fire them, we have to navigate the chaos using a four-step conflict resolution framework that I’ve adapted for teens.
