Simply saying the words you want your t(w)een to hear, or telling them they have to do something with a tone filled with conviction that you're 'right' will never lead to your them listening to you and becoming more confident or motivated.
You've got to take a different approach if you want them to develop the skills that foster self-drive.
Inside this episode I share the 3 things you must practice in order to get them to do what they need to do. These 3 things help you:
- feel more in control
- know how to approach them in ways that work
- understand how to work with them to get them taking responsibility
