12: Why & How to Set Boundaries With Your Teen
✨ The results are IN: Tuesday is the TG Podcast's OFFICIAL Broadcast Day!
BOUNDARIES...
What are they? & Why are they so important to you and your t(w)een thriving individually and together?
As I coach parents around the world, I see universal trends in how our challenges are often related to boundaries (or lack thereof).
Instead of thinking of them as this hard, cold, angry line, inside this episode I help you shift to seeing them as an essential (& loving) part of true wellness for you and your t(w)een from the inside out.
Inside this episode I share:
- My simple definition of boundaries
- How they've been a cornerstone (& gigantic teacher!) inside my own life as a parent and as a coach
- 3 Reasons why yours might not be working with your t(w)een, and what to do instead.
Listen in NOW!
