Become a Boundaries Boss
What if there was a way to get your child to do what you asked the first time, so you don’t end up doing it yourself…. Again?!
You’ve tried tough love, soft love, and everything in between to get your child to do as you asked but nothing is working and you’re at your wits end!
No matter how nicely or how many times you ask, simple tasks aren’t getting done. The constant reminding is annoying and exhausting but it’s the only way to get your teen to complete anything. Well, that and taking their phone 🙄
Sometimes it’s just easier to do things yourself but you know that’s not teaching your teen the life skills they need, let alone caring about and for their living space.
It’s not you, it’s an outdated model.
If you’re like me, your parents wanted strict compliance to their beliefs and values through explicit expectations that required you to deny, abandon or supress what was true for you to earn their love and approval. These expectations may have felt unrealistic, leaving you feeling like a failure even if you were trying your best.
“We’re not angry, we’re just disappointed…”
Enforcing these expectations meant using fear-based control methods to get you back in line quickly.
Just to be clear: your parents weren’t evil, or bad—no one taught them otherwise.
Now as you apply this old model to your own teen, it only escalates the conflict, deepening the power struggle eroding respect. Plus, your teen only falls in line to get back the privileges they lost.
What’s worse is they keep making these poor choices, and you feel like you’re playing whack-a-mole trying to discipline them into changing their behaviour.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Your teen’s behaviour is like a boiling pot. The burner underneath is the emotion that’s driving the behaviour, and the only place lasting change happens.
You can either use expectations to hold the lid on the boiling pot, or you can use boundaries to help turn the burner down. You choose.
Boundaries are an emotional currency used to communicate respectful limits of what’s okay and not okay in your household that increase understanding and respect. They increase connection and understanding, and foster accountability.
That sounds good, but….
What if they still don’t do it?”
“If I don’t use punishment or discipline, then how are they gonna learn?”
Connect before you correct.
Setting the boundary is the first step. The second and equally important part of this proven process is my Compassionate Consequence Formula.
This is my step-by-step process, filled with specific scripts to connect with your teenager and address their behaviour in a way that increases mutual respect so they’re more apt to change.
“So I just let them get away with it?”
No. You’re both equal in deserving respect. You’re not equal in authority.
If your teen is pushing back on your boundary, this process walks you through balancing those relational tools while dramatically decreasing the need for consequences in the first place.
It’s about shifting your mindset as much as it’s about shifting your teenager’s behaviour.
Just Imagine
- Feeling respected - Your teen takes responsibility for contributing around the house, and begins to appreciate what you do for them.
- Feeling confident - You can have difficult conversations with your teen to find a reasonable middle ground and use compassionate consequences without needing to control
- Feeling calmer - Even if you hit bumps in the road, you have the tools and scripts to hold your boundaries and connect with your teen without blaming or shaming
- Feeling less exhausted - You only need to ask once, without the nagging and reminding. You’re no longer stuck in a cycle of conflict and disappointment, constantly wondering if you can trust your teen.
- Feeling lighter - You finally have energy for yourself because you’re living beyond a transactional mentality, no longer needing an authoritarian response to every single move your teen makes
Hi, I’m Aly
I’m Aly Pain…
Growing up, I was the smart, fun girl on the outside and a frantic, anxious mess on the inside. I spent years healing the pain of dysfunctional family relationships, including eating disorders and a suicide attempt, to break the cycle raising my own teen boys.
It honestly boggles my brain we’re not teaching fundamental relationship skills like boundaries in schools. I was never taught about them—I didn’t even realize I could set one until I was married with kids!
I knew I wanted something different but I didn’t know how. I had to learn how to shift from using compliance and control to using tools and strategies like healthy boundaries and consequences with my sons.
My husband and I were shocked how few consequences were required in the teen years and the honesty and connection we created along the way. It wasn’t always easy to let go and support our boys to find their own way.
We had to unlearn lessons from our childhood, like the need for control and stiff punishments. We focused on finding a workable middle ground with our teens when we didn’t agree so even if we didn’t change our minds, they felt heard and respected the boundary.
In my Become a Boundaries Boss program, I’ve put together the top 4 lessons I learned in years of therapy, coach training, raising two boys, and helping thousands of parents just like you to ditch the frustration and resentment to set clear boundaries so you feel heard the first time.
Plus, using my Compassionate Consequence Formula, you’ll get my step-by-step process and specific scripts to have calmer conversations about your teen’s transgressions without resorting to punishment or control.
