🎙️ We’ve all been there—your teen rolls their eyes, refuses to do the simplest task, and suddenly you’re in a full-blown standoff over laundry, screen time, or the way they said “okay.” It’s frustrating, exhausting, and sometimes downright infuriating.
In this episode of Root & Reach, I unpack one of the most common (and misunderstood) teen behaviors through the lens of Positive Discipline: Misguided Power. I walk you through what’s really going on when your teen pushes back hard, why you suddenly feel like you’re fighting for your dignity, and how our reactions often make things worse—even when we mean well.
You’ll learn:
How to decode your own emotional response (hint: it's a giant clue)
What your teen is actually trying to say underneath the pushback
Why “winning” the power struggle isn’t the goal—and what is
Six powerful Positive Discipline tools that help you step out of the struggle and back into connection
Whether you’re deep in the trenches of teen defiance or just bracing yourself for what’s ahead, this episode will leave you feeling more grounded, more equipped, and definitely less alone.
