Hope For Parents With Struggling Teens

The Laundry Issue!

Brandon Joffe, LCSW

Our guest is a mother whose child has been on a different path from most. She has been attending our parenting group for many years. She gives a history of her journey with her son and their progress in rebuilding and maintaining their relationship. We talked about how she could stop doing the things that didn’t work without her child making the changes she wanted him to make. She tells the story of an incident that occurred recently. Her child was acting up and she chose to de-escalate the situation while following through on her boundaries rather than engage.
