from Teen Whisperer | Parenting Teen Girls · host Rach Friedli
Send us Fan Mail January can make it feel like everything should be different: new routines, new energy, new rules and yet your daughter is still avoiding work, shutting down, or pushing back. If you’re standing there wondering, “Why isn’t this changing? What am I doing wrong?” this episode is for you. This week, we unpack parenting support and why behaviour doesn’t shift overnight, how to spot small wins you’re probably overlooking, and practical ways to support your daughter when she’s unmotivated without nagging, rescuing, or burning yourself out, to improve your mother/daughter relationship. You’ll learn: Why behaviour is the last thing to change, not the first. How to recognise quiet signs of progress. Why regulation always comes before motivation. How to support her in real life, even when she resists. Plus, I share why slow progress is still progress and why you don’t have to do this alone. 🎧 Tune in and take the pressure off yourself this January. If you’re listening to this thinking, “that’s me,” I’ve got something for you. It’s called Connect the Dots. It’s a really simple guide to help you slow down, look at what you’re actually seeing, and then zoom out and consider what else might be going on for your daughter. You can grab it for free here.
