This is the toughest job!! More videos about teens please!

I recently discovered your channel and am now a happy subscriber. My daughter just turned 13 and you are spot on saying teenagers are a different kind of creature, far cry from the sweet little girl who was always by my side doing everything together. It's not that she's bad now but she is different, which is something I have to accept and deal with. I love when you said we need to love our children no matter what and even if. Thank you for being such a blessing to the world and taking us along this journey called life and parenthood.

Very helpful. My 14 yo in stage 2. It could be worse. But she is def on my nerves. lol. I really have to detach from outcomes AND mourn the loss of her being a child, that grief hurts very badly.

My daughter turned 10 and immediately went into puberty and into the attitude of a teenager. Suddenly didn’t want night time stories, no playing with her dolls, teddy bear, etc. suddenly mom and dad are annoying and embarrassing. The kid to teenager mentality and grieving is spot on.

One minute in, and I think I’m going to have to come back to this video when I’m mentally prepared to hear the rest. Also, after I’ve had my morning coffee! Lol☕️ 😂 Great topic, please more teenager videos!

[thelordismyshepherd]

I wish I would have heard this years ago. Things would have been smoother. But I still have some time to change things up. Thanks for the advise.

[aimeelouvier-sutton]

I tell my kids all the time "they are a reflection of my parenting" ALL THE TIME! ABSOLUTELY!!

When I was a teenager I was rough. I even wrote a letter to my parents when I got a little older and apologized to them about some stuff. It would be a lot to tell you about the stuff I did as a teenager. I was stubborn and had to learn things the hard way. Boy oh boy but I learned and I’m such a different and better person today because of those teenage years. For parents who struggle with rough teens just keep loving them and hang on. They will get there!! My parents never gave up on me and how thankful I am. Now I’m grown and give back and serve and love and take care of others etc. I’m a Young Women’s youth leader in my church and I can relate and help these teens. Our teens today will be some good powerful people in the future those are just my thoughts. Now I’ve got 3 teen boys and 1 pre-teen girl 😳😊

Much appreciated! More input and guidance on parenting teenagers is always welcome. With thanks and warmest wishes to you Both

Appreciate this video, I’m going through this with my teen son and tween daughter. I’ve never heard any therapists talk about the grieving process.

I am so thankful to have found your channel and I just joined you on Instagram as well! I have 7 kids 6 at home ages 16, 15, 13, 12, 10 and 7 our oldest is 21. My 16 year old daughter was diagnosed with BPD and my youngest is autistic. Your videos are very helpful. We are in Idaho Falls and maybe someday you’ll teach a class here. 💙

How does this channel not have billions of subscribers?!? You guys are awesome! Found you looking for adhd help, are you planning to do any more on that? My 5yo gets aggressive when disciplined, very hyperbolic outbursts, I'm at a loss of how I personally should react. You are my new favorite thing to binge-listen to, as I do my nightly hobbies, ie laundry, cleaning 🤗

[lindaaberparentcoach]

As an Attachment-Focused Parent Coach & mom, it is important to understand your teen's brain which is still under construction & their feelings. The teen credo is "Please don't let me be embarrassed today." When we give unconditional love, stay present, hold space with acceptance, curiosity & connect to their hearts, we enhance our parent-teen relationship.

[sabrinatoglia]

Unconditional love in all it's forms and shapes. Thank you for your wisdom.

[sherylh]

Love these and I am not a parent but trying to manage a difficult parent and these are so helpful. Call it reparenting me but applying the principles to other relationships in my life.

[nynacarranza]

You had me in tears at.... Love them, No Matter What! It's the title of a book by Debi Gliori that I used to read to them as small babies and toddlers. Loving my teens one minute at a time. XOXO

[mattfernandes]

Wow! Thank you so much for this video. I definitely needed to hear, and learn this.

[charlottewhite]

Remember to be in the moment, be genuine and love at all time

[negra]

Detaching from the outcome. That’s major

[anthonydominick]

Dr. And Mrs. Paul, I love you both! You’ll are changing so many houses and parents lives 🙏🏽
