How to Stop Getting Into Power Struggles With Your Teenager

Boreal Therapy Collective explains how parents can better manage power struggles with their teens. We suggest conveying empathy and support, setting your non-negotiable boundaries, picking your battles wisely, staying respectful and calm, being clear with consequences, and praising and validating your teen. If more support is needed, consider family therapy. If you notice your teen is struggling with their mental health, consider cognitive behavioural therapy.
