In this episode I delves into the common confrontational scenarios between mothers and preteens, particularly regarding household responsibilities like cleaning rooms. 

The episode explore the feelings of frustration and failure that can arise from such interactions and challenges the perception of these conflicts as threats to parenting. 

The importance of respecting children's boundaries and responding to aggression with empathy rather than further confrontation. Practical advice is offered on defusing arguments through empathy and validation, with personal anecdotes illustrating the benefits of acknowledging a child's feelings. 

In the episode, I talk about communicating the importance of household responsibilities in a relatable manner and stresses the significance of consistency and clear communication. 

Additionally, the episode highlights the importance of setting examples and maintaining standards for cleanliness as a collective effort. 

The episode concludes with encouraging feedback and emphasizing the importance of understanding preteen behavior as expressions of their evolving identity.
