Stop managing your teen’s behavior

You’re spending all your energy managing your teen’s behavior.

Nagging them to get off their phone.
Reminding them (again) to finish homework.
Arguing about curfews, chores, grades.

But here’s the truth:
Your teen doesn’t need more managing. They need more teaching.

Here’s what I’ve learned after working with hundreds of families:
Your teen isn’t being difficult on purpose. They’re missing specific skills.

If your teen avoids hard tasks, they might not know how to break big projects into manageable steps.

If they snap at you, they might not have strategies for dealing with frustration in healthy ways.

If they lie, they might not have the confidence or communication tools to admit a mistake.

And here’s the hopeful part:
Skills can be taught.
Skills can be practiced.
Skills can be learned.

When you stop trying to control every behavior—and start teaching the life skills they actually need—you set your teen up to make better choices on their own.

That’s how you get a teenager who comes to you with problems instead of hiding them, who tackles challenges instead of avoiding them.

And that’s how you get to feel more like a parent and less like a referee.

No one ever taught us how to do this.

But I can help you.
