Responsive Practices to Create a Supportive Relationship with Your Teen with Donna Lynne Booher

Responsive practices to create a supportive relationship with your teen starts with acknowledging your own inner child’s unhealed wounds so that you can create space in yourself to hold space for another. These wounds often become activated when we see them mirrored in our children’s behavior. Unfortunately, the tools we were taught to address these behaviors often perpetuate the very patterns we hope to break. Whether you have teenagers now, are preparing for those years, or are working to shift your own patterns, understanding these dynamics and embracing new practices can help you show up more fully for your kids—and can also be deeply validating for your own healing journey.In this episode of Unlimited, I invited Donna Lynne Booher (she/her), to join me in a conversation about engaging Responsive Practices to Create a Supportive Relationship with Your TeenSome of what we talk about in this episode includes:Understanding how to give emotional validationBreaking free from perfectionismDeveloping trust and improving communicationHolding space for your kid’s evolving identityCONNECT WITH DONNA:LinkedInCONNECT WITH VALERIE: Website Instagram Facebook Get email updatesSend us Fan MailSupport the show
