Loading...![You ask a simple question, and suddenly—boom—your teen is defensive or shutting down. What gives? ⚡ Teens often interpret a parent’s frustration or worry as criticism of who they are. So even if you’re just trying to help, they might only hear: “You think I’m lazy/stupid/a failure.” Cue the blow-up. How do you avoid this? 💡 Stick to observable language. ✅ Try: “I see your homework isn’t done yet. Can you finish it before [timeframe], or did you have a different plan?” → Focuses on actions, not identity. ❌ Avoid: “You need to stop needing reminders all the time. People in the real world don’t get reminders unless they’re lazy and directionless.” → This personalizes the issue and triggers defensiveness. If this helped, share it with another parent who needs this reminder.
