How to Make Things Right When You've Blown It with Your Teen with Jay DuSold

In this week’s episode, the last episode of 2020, I am grateful to welcome Jay DuSold back to the podcast. If you’ve been listening to the show, you know that Jay and I have formed a partnership, and more importantly, a friendship, based on our shared passion and commitment to helping young people find the path that’s best for them. This episode is part one in a two-part series focused on what Jay refers to as “making things right when you’ve blown it with your teen”. Before we work on strengthening, we need to begin with repairing and reconciling our relationships. Jay shares wisdom and advice cultivated through decades spent working with teens and their parents. During our conversation, we talk about why we need to revisit the past in order to remove barriers and move forward with our teens. We also discuss the importance the self-forgiveness and why saying “I’m sorry” isn’t enough. Jay shares his three-step process for repairing your relationship with your teen and why parents shouldn’t lose hope, no matter hopeless things may seem. We’re coming up on the start of a new year and I can’t think of a better time to work on building better and stronger relationships with our teens. Learn more about your ad choices.
