The key to many parenting challenges is finding ways to communicate with your child/teen where both your needs and your child’s/teen’s needs are met. Although this sounds simple, in the heat of the moment it is difficult to identify and differentiate ●      your needs, ●      your wants, and ●      the positions you take. It is also difficult to identify and differentiate●      your child’s/teen’s needs,●      your child’s/teen’s wants, and ●      the variables that are contributing to their response.
