Episode 16: 3 Tips to Stop Doing Too Much for your Teenager
16:20
 

As our kids transition into their teenage years, we all know it's essential to give them more responsibility and help them become accountable and independent. But how?

 

This week on Teens Who Thrive,  we'll explore how to navigate this tricky middle stage of parenting.  The stage where you know you shouldn’t be doing everything for them, but they aren’t quite ready to tackle everything on their own.  The stage where we move from doing everything for our kids to doing things alongside them.

 

Inside the episode you’ll find concrete examples that include:

  1. Navigating communication with your teen’s teacher
  2. Time management and organization
  3. Establishing a morning routine.

 

Parenting teens is about gradually transferring responsibility and fostering independence. By working alongside our teens and guiding them through new tasks, we prepare them for adulthood. This process might be messy and challenging, but it ultimately equips our kids with the skills they need to thrive on their own.
