If arguing feels like the only way you and your teenage son communicate right now, this episode is for you. And before we go any further, you need to hear this. Arguing does not mean your relationship is broken. It means something important is happening, but it is not happening well.

In today’s episode, Heidi explains why arguments with teenage boys escalate so quickly, why they leave both of you feeling awful, and why arguing actually works against the connection and influence you want to protect. You will learn how arguing puts boys into defense mode, turns conversations into power struggles, and quietly trains them to avoid talking altogether.

Most importantly, this episode helps you let go of shame and self blame so you can see the real issue. The problem is not you, and it is not your son. It is the dynamic that has developed, and dynamics can change.

If you are ready to stop arguing and start having calmer, more meaningful conversations, Heidi has created a live workshop just for you.

In this workshop, you will learn exactly how to change the dynamic with your son so you can stay calm, confident, and connected and remain his greatest influence.

Join Heidi live on January 29 at 7:00 PM Mountain Time. A replay is included.
