How to Get My Teenager to Clean Their Room
Jun 24, 2022It is very common for a teenager’s bedroom to become a source of conflict.
Today, I am going to suggest a new perspective that turns this source of conflict into a teaching moment. This requires three steps.
- A shift in the parent’s perspective regarding the state of their teenager’s room.
- Transferring the responsibility.
- Being compassionate while resisting the urge to rescue the teenager.
In most cases the battle over your teenager’s bedroom is a perfect opportunity to shift from a control based approach to an empowerment based approach.
A change in perspective … changes everything.
