Trying to remain calm and instill/maintain boundaries is extremely challenging for me. My teen is verbally abusive and boundaries push his buttons to the point where I sometimes fear him hurting me. I try with everything I got to not let him see that or that will give him the upper hand. I still have another four years to go and I pray he matures and outgrows his anger. Not even sure what he is angry about-he’s had every opportunity in life to live happy but I do remember the anger when I was a teen, it is real. I just continue to pray to God for help.

We've had our angry moments... and the last 3 weeks were very very difficult... I lost my temper in solitude and cried over the mix of frustration, anger and disappointment, but in front of him I managed for the first time to stay calm, with my calm face and calm voice. I don't know if I am ever going to be able to do it again, BUT I know know I can do it. Still there is not one second I doubted by love. At the end of the week, when we closed that chapter and started a new one, I wrote in a card and left it in his room... WE LOVE YOU, NO MATTER WHAT AND EVEN IF... parenting is tough... tough...

I just want to add that maintaining the moral high ground by granting respect, (even unearned) leaves no hooks for the offender to latch onto in order to excuse their bad behavior. That was a bit wordy but I hope it makes sense. I've found this holds try with any contentious interactions.

I legitimately just had an issue with my 13 year old, so I searched "how to deal with an angry teenage boy"
.. This makes me feel better about how I dealt with it.

I love these positive mechanisms for parenting when dealing with teenagers. With my son, sometimes it doesn’t always work. Sometimes I have to put my foot down and get a little ugly. And that is OKAY! You can do this is respect!Some children will never respect you if are soft and not firm enough. The Bible even says a whooping can keep your child out of hell. In proverbs. It’s all about balance.

[teddmented]

This is perfect advice. It’s just difficult to implement when you grew up in a chaotic household and the teenager is not someone you like at that moment.

[cmak]

The "no matter what and even if" is the best teen advice I've ever heard. It helps so much.

While love is unconditional it does not mean someone you love cannot burn you out to where you do not want that person in your life. No one wants to be abused or disrespected relentlessly.

Thank you for this timely video. I often am afraid during the turbulence that my son will never love me again. Your message to weather the storm and let it pass because it WILL pass is very helpful at the time of this writing. God bless you.

Thank you As A single mom with A Angry Teen-ager... Good Advise . Thank you May Our Heavenly Father bless Your

[cheraharless]

I am a single mother to 7. 4 of my children are teens. Raising teens is so difficult. I felt like I was drowning. Thank you for throwing me a "life jacket". My favorite piece of advice was storms always pass. Im going to repeat this to myself daily.

I was 20 when I had my twins I admit I wasn’t as patient as I am now at 34. I hope it’s not too late for them to know I’ve always loved them 🥺

Weather the storm! Best advice! As a mom of five I completely agree with this.

I have three boys ages 24, 15 and 12. One of the greatest pieces of advice I received from a mom of 4 boys was, “You will “like” your son again some day.” This has proven to be true in the case of our oldest son. Fingers crossed 🤞🏽 for the rest.

My husband was a juvenile judge for fifteen years and even with all his training we still struggle with keeping our boys focused and on the straight and narrow.

Parenting is hard. Do the best you can do. Give lots of hugs. Show up every day with your game face on. “Love them no matter what and even if!”

Thank you for your encouraging and insightful videos.

[whomadethewordword]

I just found you and have been listening to your videos daily. I’m a grandparent dealing with a young teen and love how you focus on what I can do (and can’t control) thank you so much. Your direction is helpful, practical and doable.

[dinushinirayen]

This piece of advice means a lot for me. I have been going through a lot with my 14 year old old Eldest son. (2 younger sons have been watching all this) Most of those what you told have been exactly what has been going through in my home. Thank you.

[juliekerns]

I’m so grateful I found your channel. Your advice is really making me feel more confident in parenting my teens. Thank you!

[mariamina]

[djish]

Dear Dr. Paul,
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Im gojng through custody battle with bitter ex-mother-inlaw and her 4 daughters all over 25 live with her as well as their infant 2 children. Everytime i feel stressed because of situations that arise i put on Dr. Paul and experience an enormous sense of peace and i get a smug look on my face and honestly i have allowed tears to flow. Thank you we need more humans like you on the planet and this universe. I plan to join live on purpose online as soon as I'm done paying for college. Lol.

One of the worst things about my oldest teenager daughters anger is that she tries to turn her younger sisters angry and have them act disrespectful as well. Her behavior is like a cancer that she tries to spread. She even told me that she was talking to them about killing me several years ago. Just last year she went to cps and told a bunch of lies about me and had me under investigation. Nothing happened but her anger is so out of control. She turns 18 within a month and I’m ready for her to go her own way. It’s just sad because I never imagined this is where we would be.
