Dealing with Disrespectful Teens

Episode Summary

In this episode, I answer the following parent question: Nothing we do makes our daughter happy. Why can’t she just accept a comment, advice, suggestion without complaining and pushing back? How can I make her listen and accept what she is being told without an argument?

Key Takeaways

  • Allow them to voice their opinions without retribution. 

  • Rather than getting mad that they are resistant, get curious and find out why. 

  • Model what it looks like to listen, by listening to them first.
