We are up against a lot in this day and age parenting our teens.

Our anxiety and worry about them can often come across as anger, accusations, or criticisms.

Remember that curiosity over criticism always helps calm the system down. Help them problem solve but let them answer thoughtful questions on their own.

Here are some guidelines that may help!

I read an article on the John Gottman website written by and this info graph was a clear example of boundaries verses requests.

When we make requests, we ask them to change their behavior and when we set a boundary, we change our own.

The work I do with couples and individuals is about focusing on what we can control, which of course, is your own thinking and behavior. Setting a boundary is just one way we can tune in to what we need and want in a partnership.

Over focus on another only creates anxiety and tension because we lose self in the process of that focus. What do you need, want, and think? What’s important to you? What do you need to focus on in you that you may have been neglecting due to the focus on what the other person should be doing or not doing?

When I’m starting my work with a new couple, it’s important to asses whether or not they are in a place to be able to freely receive and share information with each other.

Jumping right in can contribute to the tension instead of helping to decrease it.

Emotional safety has usually been lost by the time they reach me, so I teach what it is and what it might look like for them.

Maturity is the ability to problem solve and that’s what I’m here to teach!
