"I'm Tired of Fighting with My Big Kid”—Thoughts Moms Parenting Teens and Adult Kids Are Ashamed They Think | Ep. 304
From The Almost Empty Nest—Letting Go, Redefined: Parenting Teens and Finding Yourself Again—with Small Jar Coach · 19:33
Show by Master Coach Jennifer Collins
What if the reason you’re so tired of fighting with your big kid isn’t just because of what they’re doing…but because of what happens inside of you when they push back? In this episode, I’m talking about the power struggles that can take over motherhood during the parenting teens and empty nest years. I’ll share a story from my own experience with my son’s gaming, why setting boundaries does not have to mean going to war, and how our need for our kids to agree with us can keep us stuck in conflict. You’ll learn how to stop making your peace depend on your kid’s behavior, build more self-trust, and know when to hold your ground, step back, or reconsider. If you want more calm, confidence, connection, and less anxiety and overthinking, this episode will help you see a new way forward. 💡 Interested in learning more about how to create peace, confidence and connection as you raise and launch your teen?
