Teenage Behaviour: Communicating with Teenagers

I get hundreds of questions about teenage behaviour. Parents are often convinced they have the most difficult teenagers and teenage discipline is a big issue. I have a free parent coaching audio for you to listen to, where I answer some of the questions my readers or clients have asked about communicating with teenagers.

Questions?

  • My teenager is withdrawn, what are ways to communicate to him?
  • Understanding teenage behaviour
  • Communicating with teenagers
  • Teenage discipline - what is really important?
  • Difficult teenagers or is this normal?

In this audio I talk about how to communicate with your teenager, to deal with teenage problems more effectively. Parents of teenagers have sent me emails asking for help dealing with withdrawn teenage behaviour, and lack of communication.

I talk about what is important for your teenager, how to understand their challenging your authority or values, and how you can encourage difficult teenagers to be more involved. Something to think about: difficult teenagers, or is it our reactions to their behavior that are more the problem? And yes, there will be plenty of challenges with your teens as they develop their own set of values and beliefs and build confidence in their ability to handle problems.

I hope you find some useful tips to inspire or support you in managing teenage behaviour creatively, fostering good communication with teens, and empowering your teenager to develop their internal guidance and self discipline.

Super Skills 4 Kids
I work from the premise that kids need to learn new skills in order to behave differently. For many years I have run Super Skills 4 Kids as an extensive course teaching kids of all ages (and parents) to reach their goals - be it a skill goal, or behavioral goal.

I am very excited to have finally re-developed this course into a home-study course that is accessable to lots more families.

Super Skills 4 kids home-study course is designed with a wide range of age groups in mind, and can easily be modified for teens. Some of the case studies within the course feature teenagers.
