In this episode, we're diving deep into setting boundaries with your teen. We're all about making sure these boundaries aren't about control, but instead, they're all about empowering both you and your teen.

Here's what we're gonna cover:

  1. No Control Games: We're not here to control our teens. We're here to guide them. Let's understand that our teens are on their own journey, and that's totally okay.
  2. Guidelines, Not Dictates: Boundaries? They're more like guidelines, not hard and fast rules. It's not about saying, "You can't do this." It's more like, "If this happens, here's how I'll respond."
  3. Power Talks: Let's chat with our teens. Not the usual "I'm-the-boss" talk, but real, empowering conversations. We'll listen to their thoughts and ideas while still being the parent in charge.
  4. Lead by Example: Setting boundaries isn't just for them; it's for us too. We're showing our teens how to stand up for themselves and what they believe in, even when it's tough.
  5. Your Rules, Your Way: Don't just follow the crowd. Let's set boundaries that feel right for us and our teens. It's all about being authentic and true to ourselves.

So, join me in this episode as we navigate the world of boundaries with our teens, making sure they're a source of empowerment and growth for both of us!
