Want your kid to be the one who says "no" to unwanted pressure for sex? Or says "no," to working with a boss or friend who mistreats them?
Yep. Me too!
I want my kid to know who they are and love themself,
and not need permission from anyone to stand up for their boundaries…
And, I want them to feel free to become the powerful person they want to become,
even if it doesn't fit the mold of what I imagine for them.
Which means we have to do something that our culture pressures us not to do.
We have to respect our kids, and resist the urge to force them
to do things they don't want to or can't do,
…even things like chores and homework.
Which means they get to tell us "no."
It's inconvenient, I know.
We are just trying to get through the day,
and we want what's best for them, Right?
Our kids need practice at setting boundaries, especially with us. We are the people who are teaching them how to love.
Many teens struggle with making friends, navigating social relationships, anxious patterns, and social media overload.
Our ability to support our kid with personal relationships
depends on their openness to us and the safety
and connection we provide in the relationship.
I know that you love your kids and are committed to having a great relationship with them.
If you are struggling with your kid's resistance to everything you say, or with being able to accept their pronouns, this episode is for you.
We are glad you're here. With love!
