It’s ok to feel frustrated and flabbergasted by your teen’s choices…
…but what if you’re unconsciously shaming them in your loving efforts to raise a good human?
It can be subtle or overt and your teen might be perceiving your well-intended correction as shame that’s negatively impacting their self-confidence and resilience.
Over time, you try harder and harder to motivate them into action, or just doing the bare minimum, yet they try less and less.
