How to Notice Your Teen's Emotional Bid Parenting in the Middle

- Self-Improvement
What's an emotional bid and why are they important?
An emotional bid is a way for one person to get the attention of another person.
We often focus so much on getting our teenager's attention, that we can fail to notice when they are trying to get our attention.
We can sometimes feel frustrated when our teens complain or act disrespectful. But instead of it being a cause of frustration, we can start noticing this behavior as an emotional bid they are giving us to get our attention.
What do they need or want from us? How can we show love to them?
Listen to this episode as I share different ways you can turn toward your teen and focus on how you respond instead of how they are acting.
