Description

We all wish our teenager came with an instruction manual, but did you know that you already have a manual for your teenager that is impacting the things you do and say and feel every single day?
While you might not even know this manual exists, it is actually the reason you get so annoyed, frustrated and offended by the things your teen does.
And the crazy part is – even if you gave your teen a copy of this manual and they wanted to follow it – they couldn’t do it if they tried!
Your teen needs you to set expectations and enforce consequences, but dropping this manual will improve your relationship with your teen and make you a much happier mom.
Let’s rewrite that manual together next month in ENJOY so you can end the frustration and enjoy the time you have with your teenager!
 
In this episode you will learn:
What a “manual” is and how it was created
How your manual is making you miserable and driving a wedge between you and your teen
Why your teen couldn’t follow your manual even if they wanted to
What you can do to drop the manual without letting your teen do whatever they want
