#88: Just A Few Things You Need To Know About Parenting Teens

Parenting Teens isn't that radically different from parenting children...if you learned a few key components of parenting early on. Unfortunately, so many of us learned parenting from our own parents, who learned from their parents and so forth and so forth...and well, researchers have learned a lot about parenting since 8-year-olds were working in factories! The problem is getting the word out to everyone. Yes, manuals handed out at the hospital (maybe even a seminar and a test or perhaps a certificate of completion!) would be a wonderful idea. In this episode I'll explain why your teen is not really "lazy", how they're doing the best they can with the brain they have, why they're in "emotional overdrive", that they're more stressed out than you realize, that they need instruction and guidance rather than control and punishment, and that you need to treat them with respect.  Other referenced episodes:58, 3 , 4, 16 , 30, 6, 2 , 19, 27, 66, 38, 15, 22, 39, Bonus 8-11-23, 26, 28 Show Notes and TranscriptFind our FREE Parenting Guides Here "I just wanted to let you know that I'm so thankful for your podcast! ...I'm so happy I discovered it!"
