Description

It's hard to say "no" to an angry, upset, or demanding teen. Moms often feel pushed in the corner and begrudgingly say "yes." But when we do that it's not in the best interest of your teen or you.
How do you feel when you say "yes" to your teen when you really wanted to say "no." I know from personal experience and from listening to thousands of moms that it doesn't feel good. You second guess yourself. You stress and worry. You feel disempowered as a mom. And you feel your teen is not protected.
In this episode we will explore 5 reasons moms say "yes" when they want to say "no."
Sometimes the best answer is not "yes" or "no." There is a third option which I will teach you..
Finally, you will learn 5 tips to standing up to your teen, being clear so that your "yes" really is a  "yes" and your "no" really is a "no."
