Simply saying the words you want your t(w)een to hear, or telling them they have to do something with a tone filled with conviction that you're 'right' will never lead to your them listening to you and becoming more confident or motivated.
You've got to take a different approach if you want them to develop the skills that foster self-drive.
Inside this episode I share the 3 things you must practice in order to get them to do what they need to do. These 3 things help you:

feel more in control
know how to approach them in ways that work
understand how to work with them to get them taking responsibility

Here's to your best year yet with your t(w)een! 
Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share with a fellow parent to continue the ripple effect and paradigm shift.
Remember: NEVER underestimate the power you have as the parent.
