"Send Ben a text"
Have you ever set a simple boundary with your teen… and somehow ended up in a 45-minute argument?
The boundary might not be the real problem.
In this episode, Ben explains why boundaries often turn into fights, even when the boundary is fair and clear.
You’ll learn why too many reminders can make your teen less responsible, why your teen doesn’t have to agree with your boundary, and why giving in to avoid conflict can actually create more conflict later.
You’ll also learn how to focus on what you can control, stop taking responsibility for your teen’s choices, and hold boundaries with more calm and confidence.
If you’re tired of arguing, reminding, threatening, or feeling like every boundary turns into a battle, this episode is for you.
