Parenting Teenagers Untangled - Understand and Talk to Your Teenager Stop pushing your kids: The science of success, resilience, and reduced stress.
Is your kid stressed or lacking motivation? What if the antidote was pushing them less and giving them more of a sense of control over their lives?
It doesn't mean giving up your authority as a parent. As elite teen coach, Ned Johnson, explains the science tells us we can help our child sculpt a brain that is resilient, and ready to take on new challenges if we stop taking over.
In his practice he uses science, behavioural therapy and extensive case studies to offer help kids who're struggling with stress, anxiety, or lack of motivation.
His mantra is that as parents, we need to get out of our kids' way. We can only drive our kids so far. At some point, they will have to take control over their own path and our job is to help them develop the skills to do that.
