Human behavior is complicated and depends on many factors including our own thoughts and emotions (which are impacted by the behavior of those around us).

Adolescent behavior is further complicated by neurobiological changes. Their thoughts and emotions are not at all like ours and they don’t have the self-control that we have.

So, while we’re not necessarily at fault when our teen misbehaves, we do play a critical role in their behavior by virtue of our own behavior. Accepting this truth is a significant step towards seeing the changes you desire.

Listen today as I explain how you can influence your teen’s behavior by changing how you think, feel, and respond to them.
