The teenager who stopped talking.

You already see these clients. You were never trained for them.

• A parent reading every adolescent behavior as disrespect, rejection, or proof they failed.

• Consequences that escalate every month and produce less each time.

• A parent whose own anxiety is now driving every conversation in the house.

• A teenager who has walked away from everything the family stands for, and a parent asking you to fix it.

What changes.

The question your client walks in with, and the one you learn to work instead.

• “Why is my teenager doing this to me?”

  →“What is developmental here, and how do I move from control to influence?”

• “How do I get my child back in line?”

  →“How do I stay an effective parent when I cannot control my child's inner world?”

What is inside.

Trainings 6 and 7 of the Weinberg Compass, recorded and self-paced. Yours to work through at whatever speed your caseload allows.

  Adolescence developmentally. Which behaviors are a task being worked out and which are a signal.

• 02

  Why taking adolescence personally is the single most expensive mistake a parent makes.

  Consequences versus punishment.

• 08

  Knowing what belongs to the parent and what does not.

• 09

  Rebellion as communication: what the behavior is saying when the words are not available.
