Ep. 98: Parenting Teens and Tweens Without The Drama

Parenting teens and tweens can be a messy time that can bring joy, satisfaction, frustration, worry and a desire to drink to tune it all out.  It’s a time when kids are moving out of childhood and into adulthood, but they’re not there yet.  Kids in adolescence experience intense emotions, are wired for novelty seeking and start to prioritize peer relationships over parental ones.  Because of all of this parenting teenagers can be a personal growth and development workshop for the adults in their lives.  The behavior of teenagers can trigger strong emotional reactions in adults, often related more to something unhealed or not processed inside of us. We are triggered by the meaning we are assigning to the behavior, rather than the behavior itself.  My guest today, Casey O’Roarty, is here to give you the tools you need to navigate the rollercoaster of parenting your teen or tween without the drama.  Casey is a personal growth and development junkie, parent coach, and a positive discipline trainer specialized in working with adolescents.   To access resources and links mentioned in this episode, head over to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/98   Ready to drink less + live more?
