Have you ever experienced your child telling you, 'You're mean. I don't like you!' or saying a friend/brother is mean, when she doesn't get what she wants?

It hurts, and you start wondering if you are failing as a mom. I get it. I've been there, friend. 

We can often end up in long lectures about how that kind of language, “isn’t nice” - which really just focuses on what NOT to do. 

Do you ever notice your kids glaze over, or tune you out?  Maybe they even just respond with a goofy response that is completely unrelated to the situation.  These are all super common responses because the child doesn’t know what he CAN do, instead. 

This week’s episode at the Sustainable Parenting Podcast is decoding this situation, so you can easily understand it better, and respond effectively. 

BY THE TIME YOU'RE DONE LISTENING, YOU'LL KNOW:

• What not to say when your child says, "You're mean or someone's mean."
• A simple, clear recipe for how to effectively respond.
• A simple, clear script to rephrase your child's immature words and guide her into a more mature way to express her feelings.

Wouldn't it be cool to fast-forward 10-13 years, and be able to interview your child at age 18, and know what mattered MOST to them in the early years...so you can use that wisdom NOW?!   

That's exactly why I've chosen to interview Isabel Minor today.  Isabel is a thriving 18-year-old, who has overcome challenges with anxiety and has a relationship with her parents that she calls "super positive."  

HOW did her parents manage to raise a successful young lady, who likes to bring problems to them, and asks for their advice on relationships, school, and more?! 

BY THE TIME YOU'RE DONE LISTENING, YOU'll KNOW:

• Why many teens feel distant from their parents
• What key qualities teens most appreciate in their parents
• How to have less power-struggles and a closer relationship with your child.
