Episode 14: The eye-rolling isn't about you. Stop taking it personally.
16:56
 

We’ve all experienced it – the famous eye roll. Your teenager receives news they don’t like – usually about something they need to do that they don’t want to do – and they respond with an eye roll, an exaggerated sigh, or they storm away and maybe even slam a door.

It’s the teenager version of a toddler tantrum. I’ve worked with so many parents who come to me just furious about the eye rolling. “It’s so disrespectful” “It makes me so angry” etc.

So today we’re going to break down this teen body language and talk about:

  • what's behind this common teen behavior
  • the problem with taking it personally, and
  • how to deal with it more effectively
