In last week’s episode we discussed the inevitable conflict with your teen or tween is as they push for more autonomy while you try to maintain the correct amount of parental control. And we discovered the element of relatedness is the key to finding balance.

If you’ll recall, relatedness simply means (in a nutshell) that your teen feels free to give their honest opinions and share information with you and that you will listen, empathize, and consider what they have to say without freaking out or getting mad, etc.

This week’s episode digs into the “how to” of relatedness. How do you adopt relatedness to proactively settle conflicts with your teen, including negotiating rules and dealing with challenging behaviors? This episode is chock full of great tips you can implement today – get ready to take notes!
