How to gain more INFLUENCE in your teen's life by letting go of your need for CONTROL.
16:02
 

We've all heard the stereotype that teens refuse to take any advice from adults -- especially their parents.

But I have to tell you -- my teen therapy clients tell me a different story. What I hear from them is that they absolutely value what their parents have to say, but they feel like whenever they approach their parents for advice, all they get is a lecture.

On today's episode, we will explore:

1)How to let go of control so our teens are more likely to turn to us for input or insight.

2)How to position ourselves a a person who has INFLUENCE over our teen's decisions.

3) How to get comfortable with letting our teens make decisions that go against our advice. (as long as it doesn't compromise their safety.)
