Well Intended Parents-Unintended Consequences
The behavior of well-intended parents can actually backfire and create unintended consequences for their adolescents.
Dr. Renee Dominguez, Co-Executive Director of Family Service Center in Northfield Illinois provides valuable insights and strategies that avoid three common parenting pitalls:
- Knee-jerk Reactions
- Fixed-Mindset Messaging
- Overparenting
Dr. Dominguez encourages parents to "put on their own oxygen masks" and "pause, reflect and intend" in order to put their best parenting foot forward.
