Your Teen Doesn’t Need More Rules
Your teen probably doesn’t need more rules.
And he probably doesn’t need harsher consequences either.
What he may need is better leadership.
In this episode, I share three simple ideas that changed the way I led as a high school principal and still shape the way I parent and coach today:
Model. Connect. Involve.
You’ll learn why trying to control your teen can actually make things harder, why connection matters before there’s a problem, and how involving your teen can build more responsibility and trust.
We’ll also talk about how to stop trying to fix everything for your teen and start focusing on what you can actually control.
If you feel like you’re always reminding, correcting, arguing, or trying to get your teen to do what he should be doing, this episode will give you a simpler place to start.
You don’t have to control your teen to lead him.
