#135: The Foundational Series Day 6 – Coaching Your Teen Through Their Emotions
What do you do when your teen or tween is acting like a toddler - when they're spewing their unpleasant emotions all over the place? Do you ignore them? Tell them to calm down? Get upset yourself?
Well, today I want to talk to you about how you can use this opportunity to help your teenager develop their emotional intelligence - specifically, their emotional awareness and emotional regulation. This technique is called emotion coaching and it not only helps your teen calm down in that moment, but it gradually helps them learn how to manage those emotions themselves.
This technique not only works for teens and tweens but younger children as well. Join me today and learn how to bring more peace into your family.

#134: The Foundational Series Day 5 – Your Emotions And Your Parenting
Understanding your own thoughts and emotions and how they impact your behavior, will help you manage your emotions so you can be the parent you want to be.
If you don’t know why you get so upset about certain things, and don’t know how to articulate your feelings, your emotions will consume you. And I’m guessing you’ve realized what happens when you allow your emotions to consume you.
In this episode I’ll talk about how to get a grip on your emotions instead of allowing them to keep you in a chokehold.

#133: The Foundational Series Day 4 - Your Control Versus Your Teen's Control
Have you realized yet that you can't parent a teenager the way you parented them as a child? It's a hard truth. After your kid hits puberty, if you keep trying to manage them and parent them the way you did when they were a child, things will not go well.
Parenting a teen or tween the way you parented them as a child, will guarantee years of power struggles and behavior problems. Instead, you must learn to pivot and give your teen or tween more control, more respect and more power to make decisions (as well as mistakes).
So many parents get this wrong and then struggle for years trying to figure out how to get their teenager to behave the way they want them to. The answer? Change your own behavior.

#132: The Foundational Series Day 3 - Why Your Teen Does Such Risky Things
Why? Why? Why? Why do teens do the things they do? As the Parent of a teenager, you're probably used to asking yourself this question. If your teen or tween has ever done anything they've always promised they'd never do, you're in good company.
The way the adolescent brain works...well, let's just say, it can be baffling for parents. So, learning the "Why" behind your teen's thoughts, emotions and behavior is extremely import. It allows you to have more empathy, regulate your own emotions about their actions and therefore reign in the conflict. Join me in this episode and you're going to be ahead of the game!
