You can stop giving your teen a consequence.
You can stop giving your teen a consequence.
It doesn’t work.
When your teenager makes poor choices like:
Sleeping through their alarm,
Turning in assignments late,
Spending hours gaming or scrolling,
Eating junk food, or
Vaping,
You think giving them a punitive consequence will eliminate the behavior, so you:
Ground them from seeing their friends,
Take away their transportation, or
Cut off their allowance.
Your teen cleverly finds a way to work around the consequence.
Their undesired behavior continues.
The friction between you escalates.
When they were young, it was so easy.
You gave a consequence and their behavior changed.
They had a desire to please you.
Most teenagers don’t care about pleasing their parents.
More importantly, you want your teen to be intrinsically motivated to make good choices, so when they are no longer under your roof, they have the skills to choose wisely.
It just requires you to parent differently.
In my 6-month coaching program, I will teach you how to positively influence and inspire your teen so you don’t need to give a consequence that doesn’t work.
They will go from being unwilling to listen to taking responsibility. They will stop feeling like you are a nag and start feeling like you are on their team.
You will go from butting heads to helping them develop the life skills they need. You will stop feeling worried, frustrated, and at your wits end and start feeling calm, confident, and trusting they will be okay.
Just the other day, my client’s son said, “Mom, I don’t know what’s changed, but our relationship is so much better!”
This is possible for you too. And I will walk you through the steps to get there.
