I don't know how to strike a balance between responsibilities and freedoms for my middle schooler.
It's so much easier to just do the thing myself (whatever the thing is) rather than holding my teen accountable.
I feel mean when I make my teens do things for themselves. It feels “nicer” to just take care of things for them.
I’m so isolated, it’s easy to start believing my teens’ complaints and I get worn down. When they tell me “you’re not being fair," "no one else’s mom makes them do that," "I’m the only one who doesn’t get to," "you’re the worst parent ever,” I sometimes start to question myself.
The secret to coaching your middle schoolers as they grow into responsible, accountable, industrious, resourceful adults? Learning to manage yourself! When you consciously manage your behaviors, thoughts, and emotions, you transform how you show up for your teens on the road to independence.
The questions in this resource will help you do exactly that!
