Today is the fifth episode in my Fundamentals of Parenting Teens podcast series.

Want to stop the power struggles with your teen? The secret isn't changing them—it's changing YOU. In this episode, discover how your thoughts, emotions, and reactions directly influence your teenager's behavior.

I'll show you how to reappraise situations, manage stress, and create the space you need to respond thoughtfully instead of emotionally.

You can also watch this series on YouTube.
