Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#211-What To Do When Your Teen Yells at You & You Feel Triggered : (Calm Parenting for Moms of Teens)
Q: What should I do in the moment when my teen is yelling and I feel triggered?
Pause to regulate yourself, acknowledge your feelings, and avoid blaming language; instead, shift toward curiosity about what your teen needs right now and plan to address it when emotions are calmer.
#200-How to Sit in the Passenger Seat as Your Teen Drives (Literally and Emotionally) :(Calm Parenting for Moms of Teens)
Q: So let's get into it. So today's coach me through this question is as follows. My teenager is really struggling right now, and I can see choices they're making that I know are going to make things harder for them. Every part of me wants to step in, take control, and make them do what I think is best. When I try not to, I feel anxious, helpless, and honestly like I'm failing as a parent. If I can't fix it or change what they're doing, what am I supposed to do with all this fear and urgency inside of me?
The host reframes the urge to fix as a natural feeling, encourages observing past outcomes to learn what happens when you intervene, and promotes redefining parental success as choosing not to step in during moments of fear. It emphasizes staying present, naming and allowing those emotions, and guiding with calm, steady support rather than control, highlighting that this is tough but essential work for growth and connection.
#127-How to Break the Argument Cycle And Stop Being Triggered by Your Teen’s Choices: (Moms, Teens, Communication)
Q: How do I break this cycle when it feels like every conversation turns into a fight?
Start by recognizing that your thoughts about the situation, rather than the actions of your teenager, are often what triggers your emotional responses. Focus on adjusting those thoughts to foster a more neutral and positive dialogue.
