Ever find yourself staring at your teen, wondering why they keep making choices that seem baffling? They may look like adults, but they’re not acting like one. They struggle with impulse control, long-term planning, and prioritizing wisdom over their friend’s opinion. In this episode, I’m diving into the science behind those head-scratching decisions and how you, as a parent, can stop spinning your wheels and start supporting them in the most helpful ways possible.
We’ll break down why they’re wired to be influenced by their peers, can’t see past tomorrow, are ruled by emotions, and—let’s face it—think your advice is “outdated.” Knowing what’s going on in their brains helps you guide them more effectively and allows them to learn from their own mistakes while keeping your sanity intact.
In today’s episode you’ll learn:
- The 4 driving reasons your teen is making the choices they are
- What you can do to mentor and support them without going crazy
