<div data-pm-slice="1 3 []" data-en-clipboard="true">We get it wrong when we interact with teens and pre-teens. At least, that was the main point of an interesting article I read this week. In this episode, I talk about how adolescence changes the dynamics of the family, and how we can make changes to the way we interact with our teens and pre-teens to maintain the relationship and connection we crave with them. My three main points in this podcast are:</div> <ul> <li> <div>The fear of getting "shut out" is the root of ineffective interactions with teens.</div> </li> <li> <div>Stop asking questions.</div> </li> <li> <div>We forget and don't give kids credit for their capabilities and what they can handle.</div> </li> </ul> <div> </div> <div>Podcast HQ: <a href="https://www.playtherapyparenting.com/" rev="en_rl_none">https://www.playtherapyparenting.com/</a></div> <div>My Newsletter Signup: <a href= "https://www.playtherapyparenting.com/newsletter/" rev= "en_rl_none">https://www.playtherapyparenting.com/newsletter/</a></div> <div>My Podcast Partner, Gabb Wireless: <a href= "https://www.playtherapyparenting.com/gabb/" rev= "en_rl_none">https://www.playtherapyparenting.com/gabb/</a></div> <div> </div> <div>Links from this episode:</div> <ul> <li> <div><a href= "https://www.playtherapyparenting.com/the-four-pillars-of-play-therapy/"> 4 Pillars of Play Therapy </a></div> </li> <li> <div><a href= "https://www.playtherapyparenting.com/self-fulfilling-prophecy/">Self-Fulfilling Prophecy </a></div> </li> <li> <div><a href= "https://www.playtherapyparenting.com/the-goodness-of-kids/">Goodness of Kids </a></div> </li> </ul>
