My tips for dealing with moody teenager. Run in the other direction. No. What I want to say is think about what it is that teenagers are going through. It's really an amazing time of life. Their body is changing. Their brain is changing. Their hormones are going and if all that was happening and maybe we can sometimes we would feel the same way and we might be moody. I think when teenagers are moody, we should set boundaries with them in terms of how they treat us and how they are operating in the family but at the same time, what I've adopted with my own children is to really see and expect that they are fantastic human beings and that they're going through an amazing change and that I'm embracing that change. I find that if I have that perspective, if that's my expectation then that's usually what shows up. When it doesn't show up, then we have a conversation about it but I think part of what happens in our culture is that we expect teenagers to be difficult and so we kind of get what we're asking for so i would say, shift that perspective about what your expectation is and just be in wonderment about what they're evolving into.
