TOP THREE PARENTING MISTAKES THAT LEAD TO ARGUING:
Have you tried everything and haven’t been able to get the respect and great behavior from your child that you deserve?
Hello from Norway;-) My name is Terje Nordkvelle, and after working as a coach for teenagers for over a decade, I have experienced that these are the most common mistakes parents make - and tips to what you can do instead.
1: Parents deciding and giving advice too often.
TIP: Ask your child for answers. We all like to make our own decisions, and with ownership of a change, it increases the chance of the teen going through with it.
2: Parents addressing mostly the negative.
TIP: Give 80 percent of your attention to the behavior you are satisfied with. Then some of the problems tend to fade away.
3: Parents interrupting.
TIP: Be present as a good listener. Kids do not need our presents. They need our presence.
4: Parents going on autopilot, and being controlled by emotions.
TIP: Continue reading for more advice.
COACH'S SECRETS: By trial and error, I've experienced what it takes to build strong relationships with teens and stop their bad behavior.
I share these methods in my ebook "Seven Steps to a Positive Change in Your Teenager."
In this guide, you will learn the seven easy steps that quickly motivate your kid to do tasks at home, get better self-esteem, and become happier.

So, what's the smartest thing you can do to create a great relationship? How to master kids' anger and parenting without the struggle?
There is an excellent answer to that question. And here's the secret I discovered: The key to a really good relationship lies in how well teenagers like themselves - in conversation with you. That's the solution!
Instilling good self-esteem is the most important job you can do.
My step-by-step-roadmap aims to ensure that your communication with your child leads to an inner feeling of security that they will enjoy for the rest of their lives.
