Eps 597: From Shut Down to Open Heart - Using Validation to Reconnect with Your Teen
Manage episode 498763261 series 1131922
In this episode of the Joyful Courage Podcast, I dive deep into one of the biggest struggles parents of teens face—wanting to fix our kids’ problems instead of truly seeing and hearing them. I share real-life examples, practical Positive Discipline tools, and introduce my new acronym, VIBE: Validate, Inquire, Breathe, Empathize. By learning to validate our teens’ emotions without rushing to fix, we build trust, create emotional safety, and open the door to authentic problem-solving. If your teen is shutting you out, giving one-word answers, or feeling discouraged, this episode will help you reconnect and influence from a place of love.
