4: What to do when your t(w)een breaks down

Do you feel helpless when your teen is breaking down—and just want to do something to fix it fast? 

When I say 'breaking down' I'm referring to any time your tween or teen lashes out, has an emotional reaction to stress, conflict, or overwhelm, and/or takes out their stress on you.

These instances can happen a lot throughout adolescence, and it can be challenging to know what to do as the parent.

So, in this quick episode, I share what you should do first when your t(w)een breaks down.

• Stop asking “What should I do?” and start asking what really matters
• Learn the one shift that changes everything when your teen is spiraling
• Understand why sitting through the discomfort (yep, no quick fixes) is key
• Discover how this small change builds long-term trust & connection

Afterwards, the next step will be clearer, and you're one step closer to feeling better from the inside out.
