Eps 656: What if your teen is having a problem, not being one?
About this episode
This episode discusses reframing teen behavior as a response to problems rather than being problematic, offering practical strategies for parents.
If your teen's disrespect, eye rolls, and slammed doors have you feeling stuck, this solo episode is for you. I'm unpacking a game-changing reframe: your teen isn't being a problem, they're having a problem. Drawing on Positive Discipline and the Rudolf Dreikurs's Mistaken Goal Chart, I share why discouraged teens act out, how power struggles and revenge cycles trap us, and five practical moves to interrupt the pattern. Children do better when they feel better — even teens. Come listen, my friend. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
