Manage episode 407163575 series 3558422
The teenage years of parenting can make you feel powerless at times. Emotions run high and the ways they connect are not as easy to identify as they may have been in the past. In this episode of the podcast, Sara Brown is back to share why we need to embrace our children’s behavior as communication. When we can get curious about the why behind the behavior, we can get clarity around a need that is possibly going unmet.
Sara will also share why the adults in a young person’s life must do the hard work of learning to regulate our own emotions if they hope to see their kids do the same. You’ll also understand why being a repair expert is key to staying in relationship with your kids or the important young people in your life.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- Why understanding brain development is critical for communication
- Tips for helping a young person feel emotionally safe more often
- How an awareness of our own shame can help us relate to young people in our life
- What happens when we don’t do the work of repair when we blow it
- How to know if your child may benefit from counseling
