Episode 265: Parenting Pitfalls: Nagging — They Heard You the First Time
About this episode
Dr. Ken and Cynthia discuss the pitfalls of nagging in parenting and how it affects teen responsibility.
Dr. Ken and Cynthia are tackling one of the easiest parenting traps to fall into: nagging. When does a helpful reminder become something that’s actually keeping our teens from taking responsibility for themselves? They talk through chores, school, jobs, college applications, executive functioning struggles, and why sometimes the best thing we can do is stop being our kid’s personal reminder system. Plus, Dr. Ken explains why holding boundaries—even when your teen is mad about it—doesn’t damage the relationship. Turns out, they can be annoyed with us now and still want to come home when they’re grown adults. If you have a minute, please leave us a review. We love hearing listeners encouraging other listeners.
